Sigaloceras calloviense Fossil Ammonite Multi Block & Gryphaea Shells

Description

Fossil Identification

This listing presents a Sigaloceras calloviense fossil ammonites multi block with Gryphaea shells on the reverse. The specimen combines the named ammonite identification with associated Gryphaea shells, creating an interesting two-sided display piece for fossil collectors, Jurassic enthusiasts and natural history displays. The ammonites and shells provide strong visual interest from different viewing angles, with the Gryphaea material specifically located on the reverse of the block.

Geological Context

The fossil is identified as coming from the Kellaways Sand, Lower Callovian, Jurassic. The Callovian is a Jurassic geological stage, placing this material within the Jurassic Period and providing an important time context for the fossil. Kellaways Sand is the stated geological unit associated with this specimen. These details make the piece suitable for collectors who appreciate not only the appearance of a fossil but also its geological setting and stratigraphic information.

Sigaloceras calloviense is an ammonite identification. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in the ancient seas of the Mesozoic Era. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in geology, and ammonite specimens are widely collected for their scientific, educational and decorative appeal. Gryphaea is a fossil bivalve commonly associated with Jurassic marine deposits. The presence of Gryphaea shells on the reverse adds a further element of marine fossil interest to this multi-block specimen.

Collection and Locality

This fossil is from the Alice Purnell Collection. The supplied locality is Fairford, Glouchestershire, United Kingdom. The combination of the named collection, locality and geological identification gives the specimen useful catalogue and display context for a private collection, educational setting or natural history cabinet.

Display and Photograph Information

The item is described as a multi block, allowing the fossil content to be appreciated as part of a larger geological piece rather than as an isolated fragment. The reverse features Gryphaea shells, making both sides relevant when positioning the specimen for display. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
