Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a PSILOPHYLLITES HAGENOVA fossil ammonite, identified as Lower Sinemurian and Jurassic. The specimen is from Lyme Regis, Dorset, and is from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its named identification and geological age make it an appealing addition to a fossil collection, Jurassic display, natural history cabinet or educational geology selection.
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in the ancient seas and are among the best-known fossils associated with the Jurassic Period. Their coiled fossil shells are especially valued by collectors because they provide a tangible connection to prehistoric marine ecosystems and the long history of life preserved in sedimentary rock. PSILOPHYLLITES HAGENOVA is presented here according to the supplied specimen identification.
Geological Context
The Lower Sinemurian is an interval within the Early Jurassic, placing this fossil within a significant part of Jurassic geological history. During the Jurassic, much of the area now associated with southern England was linked to marine environments, allowing the remains of ammonites and other organisms to become preserved in the geological record. Lyme Regis, Dorset, is internationally recognised for its important Jurassic fossil heritage and its connection with the study and collection of marine fossils.
The Lower Sinemurian designation adds useful geological context for collectors who organise specimens by period, stage or locality. It also makes this fossil suitable for displays focused on Early Jurassic life, British fossil localities or the history of palaeontology. The combination of the PSILOPHYLLITES HAGENOVA identification, Lower Sinemurian age and Lyme Regis locality gives the specimen a clear place within a themed fossil collection.
