Description
Teloceras coronatum Ammonite Fossil
This listed specimen is identified as Teloceras coronatum, an ammonite fossil associated with the Murchisoniac Zone, Inferior Oolite, Bajocian, Jurassic. Its stated size is 4.5 inches, making it a substantial fossil specimen for collectors of Jurassic ammonites, British geology and historically significant marine fossils.
Geological Identification
The specimen is catalogued within the Inferior Oolite and the Bajocian Stage of the Jurassic. The Bajocian forms part of the Middle Jurassic, a period when marine environments covered extensive areas and supported diverse ammonite faunas. The Murchisoniac Zone provides a more specific biostratigraphic context within the Jurassic succession, helping collectors relate the fossil to a recognised interval of geological time.
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with chambered shells. Their fossils are valued for their connection to ancient marine ecosystems, their importance in Jurassic biostratigraphy and the detailed geological information preserved in their shell forms and strata. A named ammonite specimen such as Teloceras coronatum is an engaging addition to a fossil collection focused on taxonomy, stratigraphy or the Jurassic history of Britain.
Locality and Collection History
The specimen is from Frogden Quarry, Sherbourne, Dorset, UK. Dorset is well known among fossil collectors for its important Jurassic exposures and marine fossil-bearing rocks. This specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection, adding a specific collection association to its presentation and background.
The locality, geological interval and collection information make this fossil suitable for a display centred on British Jurassic palaeontology. It can also serve as an educational example when exploring the relationship between fossil identification, stratigraphic zones and the rocks in which marine fossils are preserved.
