Genuine Somerset Ammonite Fossil – Jurassic Period – UK Specimen – Collector’s Fossil – COA Included


£ 6.90

This listing is for a genuine Ammonite fossil originating from the Jurassic-aged
strata of Somerset, UK. Ammonites are extinct marine molluscs, closely related to modern-day cephalopods like squid and octopuses. Their coiled, chambered shells make them iconic and easily recognisable.

This ammonite specimen is a stunning representation of these ancient creatures that once populated the seas around 180–200 million years ago. Collected from sedimentary layers in Somerset, this fossil is well-preserved and exhibits the intricate spiraled structure typical of its kind.

Each fossil is a carefully selected specimen, and the photo shows the actual piece you will receive. A scale cube = 1cm is included in the image for size reference.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
