Description
Ringsteadia pseudocordata M Fossil Ammonite
Identification and Geological Context
This listing is for a Ringsteadia pseudocordata M fossil ammonite, identified with the geological details Lower Greensand, Aptian, Cretaceous. Ammonites are fossil marine cephalopods recognised by their coiled shells and are valued by collectors for their distinctive morphology, geological significance and connection with ancient marine environments. As a Cretaceous ammonite, this specimen represents a fossil from a major interval in Earth history known for diverse marine life and important changes in the development of marine ecosystems.
The Lower Greensand is a geological unit associated with the Cretaceous and is represented in parts of southern England. The Aptian is a stage within the Cretaceous Period, providing a more specific geological context for this fossil identification. These details make the specimen suitable for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, educational displays and anyone interested in British palaeontology.
Locality and Collection
Locality: WHALE CHiNE Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.
The specimen is recorded as being From the Alice Purnell Collection. The Isle of Wight is well known for its geological exposures and fossil heritage, making specimens associated with the area especially appealing to collectors of British fossils and Cretaceous material. The locality wording is retained as provided for accurate presentation of the specimen information.
Collector and Display Appeal
This ammonite offers an attractive opportunity to add a named Cretaceous fossil to a collection. Its formal identification as Ringsteadia pseudocordata M allows it to be catalogued alongside other ammonites and geological specimens. It can be displayed as a standalone fossil, included in a cabinet of Cretaceous material, or used as a conversation piece in a home, study, classroom or natural history collection.
Ammonites are particularly popular because their coiled shell form is immediately recognisable and provides a direct visual link to palaeontology. A named specimen such as this can also support research into fossil classification, geological stages and the distribution of Cretaceous marine fossils. The supplied identification and geological information are suitable for collectors who value clear naming and contextual detail.
