Rare Scunthorpe Ammonite Fossil Agassiceras Simile Sinemurian Jurassic

Description

Rare Scunthorpe Ammonite Fossil

This genuine fossil specimen is identified as AGASSICERAS SIMILE, a Sinemurian ammonite from the Jurassic Period. It is associated with Frodingham, Scunthorpe, YORKS, United Kingdom, making it an appealing example for collectors interested in British Jurassic fossils and the historic geology of the Scunthorpe area.

Identification and Geological Context

Agassiceras simile is an ammonite identification associated with the Sinemurian, an interval of the Early Jurassic. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in ancient seas and formed coiled shells. Their fossilised shells are highly valued by collectors for their scientific importance, distinctive appearance and connection with the geological history of the regions where they are found.

The Sinemurian forms part of the Jurassic Period, a major interval of Earth history known for extensive marine environments and abundant fossil life. A Sinemurian ammonite from the Frodingham and Scunthorpe area offers a tangible link to the ancient marine conditions represented in the Jurassic rocks of Yorkshire and the surrounding region. This specimen is presented specifically as AGASSICERAS SIMILE, with the supplied locality and geological designation retained for accurate cataloguing.
