Description
SUBPLANITES Fossil Ammonite
This listing presents a SUBPLANITES fossil ammonite identified as Middle Oxfordian, Jurassic, from France. It is associated with the Alice Purnell Collection and is offered as a natural fossil specimen for collectors of ammonites, Jurassic paleontology and geological history.
Identification and Geological Context
SUBPLANITES is an ammonite identification within the Jurassic fossil record. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their typically coiled shells and complex internal partitions made them especially valuable to paleontologists studying the succession of marine rocks through geological time.
The Middle Oxfordian belongs to the Oxfordian Stage of the Jurassic Period. The Oxfordian is part of the Upper Jurassic, a time when broad marine environments covered significant areas of what is now Europe. Ammonite fossils from this interval are important to collectors and researchers because ammonite forms can help correlate Jurassic rock sequences and refine the relative ages of sedimentary deposits.
Specimen Location and Collection
The associated location is recorded as CHATENTE, France. The fossil forms part of the Alice Purnell Collection, giving it a documented connection with a named fossil collection. Its identification as SUBPLANITES and its Middle Oxfordian, Jurassic attribution make it suitable for display, educational use or inclusion in a specialist ammonite collection.
Natural Fossil Collecting
Fossil ammonites are valued for their combination of biological, geological and visual interest. Each specimen represents a preserved record from an ancient marine ecosystem, while the ammonite name and geological stage provide a link to the scientific classification of Jurassic life. A fossil such as this can be displayed alongside other Jurassic fossils, ammonites from different geological stages or reference material on Mesozoic paleontology.
The supplied identification is presented as SUBPLANITES Fossil Ammonite, Middle Oxfordian, Jurassic. This wording is retained to accurately reflect the product information provided with the specimen. Collectors may appreciate the opportunity to study the form, preservation and geological context of a Jurassic ammonite from France without adding unsupported species-level or formation-level claims.

Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
The photographs should be used to assess the visible form and presentation of the specimen before purchase. The item is suitable for fossil collectors, Jurassic geology enthusiasts, ammonite displays, teaching collections and anyone interested in the fossil record of ancient marine cephalopods.
Display and Educational Use
A SUBPLANITES ammonite can provide an engaging focal point for a geology cabinet or natural history display. It can also support learning about Jurassic chronology, ammonite evolution, marine environments and the use of fossils in biostratigraphy. Its Middle Oxfordian designation places it within a clearly defined interval of Jurassic geological time, while the French location connects the specimen with the rich Jurassic fossil heritage of Europe.
