Stegoxyites Parcicarinatus Ammonite Fossil 7in Middle Bajocian Jurassic Dorset

Original price was: £90.00.Current price is: £72.00.

This superbly preserved ammonite fossil is a striking example of Stegoxyites parcicarinatus, an extinct cephalopod species from the Middle Bajocian Stage of the Jurassic Period, dating to approximately 170 million years ago. This particular specimen was discovered in the fossil-rich layers of Oborne Wood, near Sherborne, Dorset, UK, a location renowned for yielding high-quality ammonites from the Inferior Oolite Formation.

Stegoxyites parcicarinatus is noted for its distinct, ornamented ribbing and shell structure, which reflect its adaptation to ancient marine environments. As with other ammonites, it had a coiled, chambered shell used for buoyancy control, and it thrived in the warm Jurassic seas.

This fossil is part of the prestigious Alice Purnell Collection, known for housing well-documented and expertly curated paleontological specimens. This ammonite has been professionally cleaned and prepped, ensuring maximum detail and preservation—perfect for collectors, educational purposes, or natural history display.

Description

Fossil Identification

This listing presents a 7-inch Stegoxyites parcicarinatus ammonite fossil, identified as Middle Bajocian and Jurassic. The specimen is associated with Oborne Wood, Sherborne, Dorset, United Kingdom, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its identification and geological designation make it a distinctive addition to collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology and British fossil history.

Ammonite Fossil Interest

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in the world’s ancient seas. Their fossilised shells are valued by collectors because they connect visible natural form with the geological history of the Jurassic Period. As an ammonite fossil, this specimen offers an attractive way to display a named fossil identification alongside a specific Jurassic stage and British locality.

The Middle Bajocian belongs to the Jurassic, a major period of Earth history known for diverse marine life and extensive fossil-bearing deposits. The Bajocian designation provides a more focused geological context than the broader Jurassic period alone, making this specimen suitable for educational displays, fossil study collections and collectors interested in stratigraphically identified material.

Locality and Collection

Dorset is well known among fossil collectors for its important Jurassic record, and this locality information gives the specimen a clear regional setting. The fossil is from the Alice Purnell Collection, adding collection history to its presentation and making it an appealing choice for a private cabinet, classroom display or palaeontology-themed interior.

Display and Collector Use

With its 7-inch size, this ammonite fossil is suitable for display on a shelf, cabinet, desk or in a dedicated geological collection. It can be presented as a standalone Jurassic fossil or alongside other ammonites, British fossils and specimens arranged by geological age or locality. The named identification, Middle Bajocian designation and Dorset locality make it particularly suitable for collectors who value labelled specimens with contextual information.
