Description
Fossil Identification
This listing is for a fossil bivalve identified as Inoceramus sp. The specimen is associated with the Middle Lias, Lower Sinemurian, Jurassic, and is from Blockley, United Kingdom. It forms part of the Alice Purnell Collection, making it an appealing addition for collectors of British fossils, Jurassic geology and palaeontological specimens.
Geological Context
The Sinemurian is an internationally recognised stage of the Early Jurassic Period. The Lower Sinemurian represents an early interval within this stage, during a time when marine environments covered significant areas of what is now Britain. The term Middle Lias is a traditional British geological designation used for Jurassic strata. Together, the supplied age and stratigraphic information place this fossil within an important period of marine geological history.
About Inoceramus
Inoceramus is a genus of extinct marine bivalves. Bivalves are molluscan animals with two shell valves, and their fossilised shells are frequently encountered in sedimentary rocks deposited in ancient marine settings. Inoceramus is especially valued by collectors because it represents a long-ranging fossil group with a significant presence in the geological record. The identification supplied for this specimen is recorded as Inoceramus sp, indicating the genus-level identification.
Collector Interest
This Jurassic bivalve fossil is suitable for collectors interested in invertebrate palaeontology, British geological localities, Lower Jurassic fossils and historical collection material. Its documented association with Blockley and the Alice Purnell Collection provides useful context for display, study and cataloguing. It can be displayed as part of a Jurassic fossil collection or used as an educational example when exploring bivalve fossils, stratigraphic stages and the geological history of the United Kingdom.
