The supplied identification is Cenoceras striatum, with the geological designation Upper Toarcian, Jurassic. The Upper Toarcian belongs to the Jurassic Period and provides an important geological context for marine fossil collecting. This identification makes the piece relevant to fossil enthusiasts, geology students, natural-history collections and anyone interested in Jurassic palaeontology.

Specimen Details

Product: Cenoceras striatum fossil nautilus

Geological identification: Upper Toarcian, Jurassic Location: Blockley, United Kingdom Collection: From the Alice Purnell Collection

The fossil is offered as a collectible specimen connected with the Alice Purnell Collection. Its named identification and Jurassic context provide useful catalogue information for a private collection, educational display or natural-history-themed interior. Cenoceras fossils are particularly appealing to collectors because they combine a recognisable nautilus form with a clearly stated Jurassic geological age.

Collector and Display Interest

Fossil nautilus specimens offer a direct way to explore the history of marine cephalopods. The nautilus form is familiar to modern natural-history enthusiasts, while a Jurassic example gives that form a much deeper geological context. A specimen identified as Cenoceras striatum can sit naturally within collections focused on ammonites, nautiloids, Jurassic fossils, marine palaeontology or the evolution of shelled organisms.

This piece may be considered for a fossil cabinet, geology study area, classroom resource or curated natural-history display. The Upper Toarcian designation adds a specific stratigraphic context, making the specimen more informative than an unidentified fossil. It can also serve as a conversation piece for collectors who appreciate named fossils and documented geological associations.
