About Teloceras banski

This species belongs to the Stephanocerataceae superfamily, a group of ammonites known for their distinctive ribbed shells and evolutionary importance in Jurassic marine ecosystems. Teloceras banski is notable for its well-defined, gently curved ribs and involute coiling, characteristics that made it a swift swimmer in the ancient seas.

Ammonites from the Inferior Oolite Formation are particularly well-preserved, often retaining fine details such as growth lines, suture patterns, and shell ornamentation, making them highly sought after by collectors and paleontologists.

Description

SPECIMEN IDENTIFICATION

This listing features a rare 6-inch Teloceras banski ammonite fossil, identified as originating from the Inferior Oolite, Middle Bajocian, Jurassic. The specimen is associated with Brunton, Somerset, UK, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. It is an appealing piece for fossil collectors, Jurassic enthusiasts, ammonite specialists, and anyone interested in the geological history of Britain.

GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

The Inferior Oolite is a well-known Jurassic geological unit associated with rocks of the Middle Jurassic. The Middle Bajocian represents a defined interval within the Jurassic, giving this fossil a useful stratigraphic setting for study and display. Jurassic fossils from Britain are valued for the information they provide about ancient marine environments, changing ecosystems, and the succession of life through geological time.

Ammonites were extinct marine molluscs whose fossilised remains are important to palaeontology and stratigraphic research. Their occurrence within particular geological intervals can assist with comparing rock sequences and understanding the relative age of sedimentary deposits. Teloceras banski provides a specific identification for this specimen and adds interest for collectors who focus on named Jurassic ammonites rather than unidentified fossil material.

COLLECTION AND LOCALITY

The specimen is associated with Brunton, Somerset, UK, and is from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its named locality and stratigraphic information make it suitable for a labelled fossil cabinet, geology teaching collection, museum-style display, or Jurassic-themed presentation. The combination of a named ammonite identification, British locality, and Middle Bajocian context gives this fossil strong educational and collector appeal.

DISPLAY AND COLLECTOR USE

With its 6-inch size, this Teloceras banski ammonite fossil is suitable for display in a home collection, study, office, classroom, or natural history cabinet. It can be presented alongside other Jurassic fossils, British geology specimens, ammonites, or stratigraphically identified material. The specimen is also a thoughtful gift for fossil collectors, geology students, palaeontology enthusiasts, and admirers of natural history.
