Description
Fossil Identification
This listing is for a Trimarginites trimarginites fossil ammonite, identified as Middle Oxfordian, Jurassic. The specimen is associated with Chatente, France, and forms an appealing addition to a fossil collection focused on ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology and scientifically identified marine fossils. The repeated name in the identification reflects the supplied product identification: Trimarginites trimarginites.
Geological Context
The Oxfordian is a Jurassic stage, placing this fossil within the Jurassic geological period. Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods known from the fossil record and are especially valued by collectors for their importance in reconstructing ancient marine environments and studying changes through geological time. As cephalopods, ammonites are related in a broad zoological sense to modern nautiluses, squids, cuttlefish and octopuses, although ammonites themselves are extinct.
Ammonite fossils are widely collected for their scientific and display appeal. Their shell architecture, coiling, surface details and suture patterns can provide important information for identification and comparison. Trimarginites trimarginites offers a named fossil identification for collectors interested in Jurassic ammonites and the diversity of fossil cephalopods from the Oxfordian interval.
Locality and Collection
The associated locality is Chatente, France. French Jurassic fossils are of strong interest to collectors who enjoy linking a specimen with a named European locality and geological interval. This specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection, giving it a documented collection context for display, study or inclusion in a specialist fossil cabinet.

Display and Collecting
This Trimarginites trimarginites ammonite is suited to fossil collectors, Jurassic geology enthusiasts, palaeontology students, educators and anyone building a display of identified ammonites. It can be presented as part of a themed collection featuring Jurassic fossils, Oxfordian specimens, French localities or extinct marine life. The identification and geological wording make it suitable for a labelled display alongside reference material covering ammonite evolution, Jurassic seas and fossil classification.
The specimen may also appeal to collectors seeking a distinctive educational object with a direct connection to deep geological time. Ammonites are frequently used in palaeontological study because they are widespread in the fossil record and can help illustrate how fossil groups are named, compared and placed within geological succession.
