PLANAMMATOCERAS OBTECUM Fossil Ammonite Jurassic Inferior Oolite Dorset UK


£ 36.00

This listing features a well-preserved ammonite fossil of Planammatoceras
obtecum, discovered at Burton Bradstock along the world-renowned Jurassic Coast in Dorset, United Kingdom. This specimen originates from the Inferior Oolite Group, a Middle Jurassic marine limestone formation notable for its rich fossil assemblage.

Planammatoceras obtecum belongs to a group of ammonites characterised by fine ribbing and compressed, involute shells. These elegant fossils are less commonly found than other ammonites from the Inferior Oolite, making this a particularly notable piece for collectors.
