Geological Identification
The geological wording supplied with the specimen includes “Oxfordian, Middle Lias, Lower Jurassic”. These terms provide the period and stage terminology associated with the listing and are retained here as supplied. They make this piece especially suitable for collectors who catalogue specimens by geological designation as well as by fossil group.
Ophioderma is associated with brittle stars, marine echinoderms recognised for their radial body plan and delicate, articulated arms. Brittle stars are not fish; however, the supplied product name identifies this item as an “Ophioderma Brittlestar fish fossil”. The brittle-star identification makes the specimen relevant to collections focused on echinoderms, marine palaeontology and the diversity of ancient sea life.
