Ptychophylloceras sp Fossil Ammonite Kimmeridgian Jurassic Lauterhofen Germany | Alice Purnell Collection

Description

Fossil Identification

This listing features a Ptychophylloceras sp fossil ammonite identified as Kimmeridgian, Jurassic, from Lauterhofen, Germany. Ptychophylloceras is an ammonite, a group of extinct marine cephalopods known for their coiled shells and detailed chambered structure. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors for their natural spiral form, fossilised shell patterns and connection to the ancient marine environments of the Jurassic Period.

The Kimmeridgian is a recognised stage of the Jurassic Period, placing this fossil within the Late Jurassic geological interval. This identification makes the specimen a suitable choice for collectors interested in Jurassic palaeontology, ammonites, historical geology and natural-history displays.

Locality and Collection

The specimen is identified with Lauterhofen, Germany, and is from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its locality and collection association add useful context for display, study and educational presentation. The fossil can be incorporated into an ammonite collection, Jurassic fossil grouping, geology cabinet or classroom-style natural-history display.

Collector and Display Appeal
