Description
Procerithium damonis Gastropod Fossil
This listing features a Procerithium damonis gastropod fossil associated with the Oxford Clay, Callovian, Jurassic. It is a distinctive fossil specimen for collectors interested in Jurassic palaeontology, fossil gastropods, marine life and the geological history of the United Kingdom.
Identification and Geological Context
Procerithium damonis is a fossil gastropod, representing an ancient member of the molluscan class Gastropoda. Gastropods are recognised by their typically coiled shells, which developed through growth over time and can preserve useful information about the life and environments of the past. This specimen is identified with the Oxford Clay and the Callovian Stage of the Jurassic Period.
The Callovian forms part of the Middle Jurassic, a period noted for diverse marine ecosystems and important fossil deposits. Oxford Clay is widely known as a Jurassic fossil-bearing geological unit. Its fossils are of interest because they provide evidence of ancient life preserved within Jurassic sediments. The supplied identification makes this specimen a relevant addition to collections focused on Jurassic fossils, fossil shells, ammonites, marine reptiles and other palaeontological material from the same broad geological interval.
Locality
The stated locality for this fossil is Bradley Fen, Whittlesey, Peterborough. This locality information adds geological and collecting interest, allowing the specimen to be catalogued alongside other fossils associated with the Whittlesey and Peterborough area. The locality is particularly suitable for collectors who organise specimens by geological source, region and stratigraphic age.
Collector and Display Appeal
With its named identification, geological association and locality information, this Procerithium damonis gastropod fossil is suitable for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, educational displays and Jurassic-themed collections. It can be used as a representative example of a fossil gastropod when discussing shell-bearing invertebrates, Jurassic palaeontology and the preservation of marine organisms in fossil-bearing clay deposits.
The specimen may also appeal to collectors building a scientifically labelled display. Its combination of taxonomic name, Oxford Clay association, Callovian age and Bradley Fen, Whittlesey, Peterborough locality provides useful catalogue information for a personal collection, classroom presentation or natural history cabinet.
