Description
Overview
This rare 15-inch Proplanulites ammonite fossil is identified as Middle Callovian, Jurassic. It is a striking natural-history display piece for fossil collectors, Jurassic geology enthusiasts, museum-style interiors and anyone interested in the ancient marine life recorded in the fossil record. The substantial format gives the specimen a strong visual presence while retaining the scientific and educational appeal associated with ammonite fossils.
Identification and Geological Context
Proplanulites is an ammonite identification, placing this fossil within an extinct group of marine cephalopods that lived in the seas of the Mesozoic Era. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their coiled shells preserve recognisable forms and provide an accessible connection to Jurassic palaeontology. The specimen is identified as Middle Callovian, Jurassic, linking it to a specific interval within the Jurassic Period rather than to a broad, general geological age.
The Callovian forms part of the Middle Jurassic. Ammonites from this interval are of interest not only as display fossils but also as geological markers, because their evolutionary changes and distribution have helped palaeontologists compare and date marine rock sequences. A Proplanulites specimen therefore offers both decorative appeal and a direct focus for learning about Jurassic marine environments, ammonite evolution and the use of fossils in stratigraphy.
Collection and Display
From the Alice Purnell Collection
The 15-inch presentation makes this fossil suitable for a dedicated fossil cabinet, study, office, library, classroom or geology-themed display. Its size allows the ammonite form to be appreciated from across a room, while closer viewing reveals the natural character that makes each fossil specimen individual. It can be displayed as a standalone Jurassic feature or incorporated into a wider collection of ammonites, fossils and geological specimens.
