This listing presents a Cadoceras sublaeve fossil ammonite, identified with the Kellaways Clay, Lower Callovian, Jurassic. Cadoceras sublaeve is a named Jurassic ammonite fossil, making this specimen an appealing addition for collectors interested in ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology and the fossil record of marine life. The identification combines the genus and species name with the stated geological context, providing useful terminology for fossil collectors, students and enthusiasts.
Geological Context
The specimen is associated with the Kellaways Clay and the Lower Callovian stage of the Jurassic. The Callovian forms part of the Middle Jurassic, a period well known for marine fossil deposits and the evolutionary history of ammonites. Ammonites were extinct marine relatives of modern cephalopods, recognised in the fossil record primarily through their coiled shells. Their fossils are widely collected for their scientific, historical and display interest.
The Kellaways Clay reference adds geological context to the specimen and connects the fossil with a named clay deposit. For collectors, geological information such as formation and stage can be an important part of a specimen’s appeal, helping place the fossil within the broader Jurassic record. The supplied identification is presented as Cadoceras sublaeve, from the Lower Callovian, Jurassic.
