Polished CADOCERAS LISKOVO Ammonite Fossil Lower Callovian Jurassic Volga USSR

£60.00

This listing features a rare and beautifully polished Cadoceras liskovo Ammonite Fossil, from the Lower Callovian Stage of the Middle Jurassic, approximately 165 million years ago, discovered in the Volga River region of Russia. This specimen is part of the renowned Alice Purnell Collection.

Cadoceras liskovo is a distinct ammonite species known for its robust, ribbed shell structure with complex suture patterns and coiling. These ammonites were once thriving marine cephalopods, relatives of modern squid and octopuses, and are commonly used as biostratigraphic markers in Jurassic geology due to their rapid evolutionary development and widespread distribution.

The Volga River Basin, particularly in regions such as Saratov and Ulyanovsk, is renowned for its rich Jurassic marine fossil beds. The finely laminated clays and silts of the area allowed for excellent fossil preservation, often revealing spectacular detail in ammonite shells.

This fossil has been expertly cut and polished, revealing the stunning inner chamber structures and mineral patterns of the ammonite. These polished cross-sections are highly sought after by collectors and educators for both their scientific interest and visual appeal.

Description

Polished Cadoceras Liskovo Ammonite Fossil

This polished CADOCERAS LISKOVO ammonite fossil is identified as Lower Callovian and Jurassic, with the specimen associated with Volga, USSR. Its polished presentation makes it an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geology display, natural history cabinet, or educational study collection.

Fossil Identification and Geological Context

Cadoceras Liskovo is an ammonite identification from the Jurassic period. The Lower Callovian belongs to the Middle Jurassic, a significant interval in Earth history known for diverse marine life and widespread marine sediments. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern nautiluses, and their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in palaeontology. They are especially valued by collectors for their scientific importance, distinctive shell form, and connection to the ancient marine environments of the Jurassic seas.

The supplied identification places this specimen within the ammonite group and specifically records it as CADOCERAS LISKOVO. The Volga, USSR association adds regional interest for collectors who appreciate fossils connected with historic geological localities and collections. The polished finish presents the specimen as a display-ready piece while retaining its importance as a natural fossil specimen.
