Description
Fossil Echinoid Identification
This listing features a fossil echinoid identified as Clypeus ploti, associated with the Jurassic Inferior Oolite. Echinoids are marine members of the wider echinoderm group, making them valuable to collectors interested in prehistoric marine life, Jurassic palaeontology and the fossil record of ancient sea environments. The identification Clypeus ploti provides a focused collecting interest for enthusiasts seeking named Jurassic echinoid fossils rather than an unidentified fossil fragment.
Geological Context
The specimen is identified with the Inferior Oolite, a Jurassic geological unit well known for fossiliferous rocks and marine palaeontological material. The Jurassic Period is recognised for its extensive marine ecosystems, and echinoid fossils offer an opportunity to explore the diversity of invertebrate life preserved in rocks from this important interval of Earth history. This piece is suitable for a fossil collection, geology display, educational setting or anyone with a particular interest in Jurassic echinoids and British palaeontology.
Locality
The recorded locality for this fossil is Southworld Quarry, Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK. Its stated locality and geological association make it an appealing addition to collections focused on Oxfordshire fossils, British Jurassic geology and material linked to the Inferior Oolite. Locality information is an important part of fossil collecting because it helps connect a specimen with the geological landscape from which it was recovered.
