Description

RARE CADOCERAS COMPRESSUS AMMONITE FOSSIL BLOCK

This distinctive fossil specimen features a Cadoceras compressus m ammonite block with bivalve fossils. It is identified with the Kellaways Clay, Lower Callovian, Jurassic, and is from Oxon, United Kingdom. The combination of an ammonite fossil and associated bivalve fossils makes this an appealing geological display piece for collectors interested in Jurassic palaeontology, ammonites and marine fossil assemblages.

IDENTIFICATION AND GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

Cadoceras compressus is a Jurassic ammonite identification. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are widely valued by collectors for their scientific importance, distinctive form and role in understanding Jurassic marine environments. The supplied identification places this specimen within the Lower Callovian stage of the Jurassic Period.

The specimen is associated with the Kellaways Clay. This geological unit is known in the Jurassic succession of England, and the stated Oxon, United Kingdom location gives the piece a clear regional context. The accompanying bivalve fossils add further interest to the block, representing another group of fossilised marine organisms preserved alongside the identified ammonite.

COLLECTOR AND DISPLAY APPEAL

With its named ammonite identification, Jurassic age designation and associated bivalve fossils, this is a strong choice for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, palaeontology students and educational displays. It can be used as an engaging example of Jurassic fossil material and the types of marine organisms that may be encountered in a sedimentary geological setting.

The specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection, adding collection history to its presentation. Its natural fossil character makes it suitable for a fossil cabinet, study collection, classroom display or decorative geology presentation. The block format allows the ammonite and accompanying fossil content to be viewed as part of a geological specimen rather than as an isolated object.
