Description

Pycnodus Fish Tooth Fossil

This fossil specimen is identified as a Pycnodus fish tooth fossil from a ray-finned fish. It is presented as a distinctive piece of Jurassic palaeontology, combining a named fossil identification with a Bathonian geological designation. The specimen is associated with white limestone and comes from Ardley Quarry, Ardley, Oxfordshire.

Geological Context

The Bathonian is a recognised stage within the Jurassic Period and forms part of the Middle Jurassic sequence. Fossils from this interval are important to collectors because they provide a direct connection with ancient marine and terrestrial environments preserved in Jurassic rocks. White limestone is a notable part of the specimen’s supplied geological description and provides the stone context in which this fossil is presented.

Pycnodus Fish Fossil

Pycnodus is the supplied identification for this fossil tooth. As a ray-finned fish fossil, it represents a group of fishes distinguished by their fin structure and long history in the fossil record. A tooth fossil is especially appealing to collectors because it preserves a hard biological element that can remain recognisable after burial and geological preservation.

The combination of Pycnodus identification, fish tooth form, Bathonian age and white limestone makes this an engaging addition to a fossil collection. It is suitable for collectors building a Jurassic fossil display, for educational use, or for anyone interested in the history of ancient fish and the geology of Oxfordshire.

Locality

The recorded locality for this specimen is Ardley Quarry, Ardley, Oxfordshire. Locality information adds useful geological context for collectors, helping place the specimen within a specific area rather than presenting it as an unidentified fossil. The location is included as supplied with the specimen’s authoritative product information.

Collector Display and Study

This Pycnodus tooth fossil can be displayed alongside other Jurassic fossils, fish remains, teeth, limestone specimens or regional British material.
