Description

SUBPLANITES SP Fossil Ammonite

This genuine fossil ammonite is identified as SUBPLANITES SP and dated to the Middle Oxfordian of the Jurassic. It comes from Chatente, France, and forms an appealing addition to collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic fossils, palaeontology and the geological history of marine life. The specimen is associated with the Alice Purnell Collection, adding documented collection context for collectors and enthusiasts.

Geological Identification

The Middle Oxfordian belongs to the Jurassic Period and represents a defined interval within the Oxfordian. Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods whose fossil shells are especially important to palaeontologists because their evolutionary changes through time can assist with geological correlation and dating. As a SUBPLANITES SP specimen, this fossil is presented at the supplied identification level without assigning a more specific species name.

Ammonites lived in ancient marine environments and possessed chambered shells. During life, the animal occupied the outer chamber while the earlier chambers contributed to buoyancy and shell growth. Fossil ammonites are valued both for their scientific importance and for the natural beauty of their spiral shell forms. Jurassic ammonites are particularly popular with collectors because they connect a physical specimen with a major period in Earth history.
