£ 120.00
GENUINE ECHIOCERAS AMMONITE FOSSIL MULTI BLOCKThis listing is for a genuine Echioceras fossil ammonite multi block from the
Jurassic of Holderness, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. This carefully chosen fossil specimen includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card. The photo shows the actual fossil you will receive, allowing you to view the natural ammonite arrangement, matrix, preservation, surface detail and overall display character of this individual piece before purchase. Full sizing details can be seen in the photo.Your specimen was discovered by our own team members, Alister and Alison, and has been cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison. This gives the fossil a clear collecting history, from discovery through to preparation, making it an appealing choice for collectors who value genuine provenance and carefully presented British Jurassic fossils. ECHIOCERAS AMMONITE SPECIES INFORMATIONEchioceras is a well-known Early Jurassic ammonite genus, recognised for its distinctive coiled shell form and ribbed ornamentation. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. They lived inside chambered, spiral shells and were abundant in Jurassic seas, making them some of the most collectable and scientifically useful fossils from this period.Echioceras specimens are typically noted for their evolute coiling, where the inner whorls remain clearly visible, and for their strong, regular ribs that cross the whorls. This ribbed shell structure gives the fossil a highly recognisable appearance and makes Echioceras especially attractive for display. The shell form is usually neat, open-coiled and strongly patterned, with a classic Lower Jurassic ammonite look that is popular among fossil collectors.The genus Echioceras is associated with the Echioceratidae family and is an important part of Early Jurassic ammonite faunas. Ammonites such as Echioceras are valued as index fossils because their rapid evolution and wide distribution help geologists compare and date rock layers. This makes the specimen interesting not only as a natural display piece, but also as a fossil with genuine palaeontological and stratigraphic significance. JURASSIC AGE AND MARINE ENVIRONMENTThis fossil dates from the Jurassic Period, a time when much of what is now Britain was covered by warm to temperate seas. These ancient marine environments supported a wide range of life, including ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, brachiopods, marine reptiles and other sea creatures. After death, ammonite shells could settle onto the seabed and become buried by sediment, eventually fossilising over millions of years.A multi block specimen is particularly interesting because it preserves more than one fossil element within a natural matrix. Rather than a single isolated ammonite, the block format gives a stronger impression of the original fossil-bearing seabed environment. It can show how ammonite remains were naturally preserved together, making it ideal for collectors who enjoy fossils with context, character and display presence. HOLDERNESS, YORKSHIRE FOSSIL LOCALITYHolderness in Yorkshire is part of a region with strong geological and fossil collecting interest. Yorkshire is widely known for its Jurassic fossil record, particularly along the coast where marine sediments have produced ammonites, belemnites and other classic British fossils. A specimen from Holderness carries excellent locality appeal for collectors of UK fossils, Yorkshire fossils and Jurassic marine life.The Yorkshire coast and surrounding fossil-bearing deposits are especially valued for their connection to ancient marine environments. Ammonites from this region are collectable because they combine attractive natural form with a clear link to Britain’s Jurassic past. This Echioceras multi block is therefore well suited to a fossil cabinet, study collection, educational display or natural history collection focused on British palaeontology. PREPARATION, DISPLAY AND COLLECTABLE APPEALThis Echioceras fossil ammonite multi block has been cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison to help present the specimen clearly while preserving its natural character. Careful preparation is important for ammonite fossils, as it helps reveal the fossil form, ribbing, whorl structure and surface detail while retaining the authentic geological appearance of the piece.The specimen is suitable for fossil collectors, ammonite enthusiasts, geology students, natural history displays, educational collections, cabinet displays or as a distinctive gift for someone interested in British fossils. Its named ammonite genus, Jurassic age, Holderness locality, multi block format and team-discovered provenance make it a desirable addition to a carefully documented fossil collection. CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY INCLUDEDThis fossil is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming that it is a genuine specimen. The fossil shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive, making this Echioceras ammonite multi block an authentic and attractive Jurassic fossil from Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
