Description
Pseudogregoryceras Fossil Ammonite
This fossil specimen is identified as Pseudogregoryceras, a fossil ammonite from the Middle Oxfordian of the Jurassic. It is associated with Chatente, France, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. The specimen is offered as a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, geological display, natural history cabinet, or ammonite-focused study collection.
Geological Identification
Pseudogregoryceras is an ammonite identification, placing this fossil within an extinct group of marine cephalopods that lived during the Mesozoic Era. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their fossils connect biological form with the geological history of ancient marine environments. Their shells are commonly studied for their coiled architecture, chambered construction, and changing forms through geological time.
The Middle Oxfordian belongs to the Oxfordian interval of the Jurassic Period. Jurassic ammonites are important to palaeontology and biostratigraphy because successive forms can help specialists compare rocks and fossil-bearing horizons across different regions. The Oxfordian is part of the Upper Jurassic, a time represented by abundant marine fossil evidence in many areas of Europe. These broader geological associations make an identified Oxfordian ammonite an engaging specimen for collectors interested in Jurassic life and stratigraphic history.
Collection and Display
From the Alice Purnell Collection
The specimen’s identification and geological designation make it suitable for a range of collecting interests, including ammonites, Jurassic fossils, French fossils, palaeontology, stratigraphy, and educational geological displays. It can be presented as a standalone specimen or incorporated into a themed arrangement featuring fossils from the Jurassic Period or material associated with France.

Authenticity and Certificate
This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.
The included certificate wording provides accompanying authenticity documentation for the fossil specimen. Collectors may retain the certificate with the specimen as part of their collection records, particularly when cataloguing geological period, ammonite identification, collection history, and the listed French association.
Collector Interest
This Pseudogregoryceras ammonite combines a specific fossil identification with a Middle Oxfordian Jurassic designation, making it relevant to collectors who value named ammonites and geological context. It is also well suited to educational use, where it can support discussion of extinct marine cephalopods, Jurassic palaeontology, fossil collecting, and the way geological stages help organise Earth history. Its association with the Alice Purnell Collection adds a clear collection context for display and record keeping.
