• Geological Stage: Upper Bajocian, Jurassic
• Depositional Environment: Marine (During the Upper Bajocian, the region of Normandy was part of a shallow sea environment, ideal for the preservation of ammonites and other marine life.)
• Family: Parkinsoniidae (A family of ammonites known for their coiled and spiral-shaped shells)
• Superfamily: Ammonitoidea

The fine preservation of the fossil allows for an excellent view of its ribbed structure and the internal structure of the shell. The shell's coiling is a hallmark of the species, demonstrating the intricate development of the ammonite during the Upper Bajocian period.
