Description
POLISHED CADOCERAS SUBLAEVE AMMONITE FOSSIL
This polished Cadoceras sublaeve ammonite fossil is identified with the Kellaways Clay and the Lower Callovian stage of the Jurassic. It is a distinctive natural-history specimen for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, museum-style displays and anyone interested in Jurassic marine life.
The polished finish highlights the ammonite’s internal structure and coiled form, creating an attractive display piece while retaining the character of a genuine fossil specimen. Cadoceras is an ammonite, a group of extinct marine cephalopods known for their tightly coiled shells. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their fossils combine biological history, recognisable spiral morphology and important geological context.
GEOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION
Identification: Cadoceras sublaeve ammonite
Geological material and stage: Kellaways Clay, Lower Callovian, Jurassic Listed location: Ashton Keynes, United Kingdom
The Lower Callovian belongs to the Jurassic Period. During the Jurassic, ammonites lived in marine environments and their fossilised shells are now used by palaeontologists and collectors to study ancient seas and geological time. The Kellaways Clay is associated with Jurassic sedimentary deposits, providing an appropriate geological setting for this ammonite identification.
COLLECTION AND DISPLAY
This specimen is From the Alice Purnell Collection. The polished surface makes the fossil suitable for display in a cabinet, study, office, classroom or personal geology collection. Its combination of a named ammonite identification, Jurassic age designation and Kellaways Clay association gives it strong educational and collector appeal.
The specimen can be displayed as a conversation piece or used to support learning about ammonites, fossilisation, Jurassic stratigraphy and the relationship between fossils and the sedimentary rocks in which they are preserved. Cadoceras sublaeve is an appealing choice for collectors seeking a named Jurassic ammonite rather than an unidentified fossil shell.
