Jurassic Ammonite Fossil Erratic Block Reighton Gap Yorkshire UK Genuine COA Display Specimen
£ 14.40
GENUINE JURASSIC AMMONITE FOSSIL ERRATIC BLOCKThis listing is for a genuine Jurassic ammonite fossil erratic block collected
from Reighton Gap, Yorkshire, UK. This is a carefully chosen fossil specimen with strong British geological interest, selected for its natural character, display appeal and connection to the famous fossil-bearing Yorkshire coast. The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive, allowing you to view the ammonite detail, surrounding rock and natural presentation before purchase. Full sizing and scale details can be seen in the photo.Your specimen was discovered by our own team members, Alister and Alison, and has been carefully cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison. It is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming that this is a genuine fossil specimen suitable for collectors, educational displays, natural history cabinets, geology gifts and British fossil collections. ABOUT JURASSIC AMMONITESAmmonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in ancient seas for hundreds of millions of years before becoming extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period. They were related to modern squid, octopus and nautilus, but unlike squid and octopus they lived inside a coiled, chambered shell. The living animal occupied the final outer chamber, while the earlier chambers helped regulate buoyancy as it moved through the water.Jurassic ammonites are among the most collectable and recognisable fossils in the world. Their spiral shells, ribbed ornament and wide variety of forms make them highly popular with fossil collectors, palaeontology enthusiasts and natural history displays. Ammonites are also important scientific fossils because many species evolved rapidly and were widely distributed in ancient seas, allowing geologists to use them for dating and correlating Jurassic rock layers. ERRATIC BLOCK FOSSIL INTERESTThis specimen is described as a Jurassic ammonite erratic block, meaning the ammonite is preserved within a block of rock that has been naturally transported from its original bedrock source. Erratic blocks can be moved by natural processes such as glacial action, coastal erosion or sediment movement before being found at a later location. This gives the specimen additional geological interest, as it reflects both the fossil’s Jurassic marine origin and the later natural movement of the rock.An ammonite preserved in a block is especially appealing because it retains the fossil within its natural matrix. Rather than being a fully removed loose ammonite, the specimen shows the relationship between the fossil and the surrounding stone. This makes it an attractive display piece and a useful educational example of how fossils occur in the rock. REIGHTON GAP AND YORKSHIRE COAST LOCALITYReighton Gap, Yorkshire lies on a stretch of coastline known for its geology, coastal erosion and fossil material. The Yorkshire coast is one of the classic fossil-collecting regions of the UK, with Jurassic rocks exposed in many areas and a long history of ammonite discoveries. Fossils from this region are sought after for their British provenance and connection to the ancient seas that once covered parts of northern England.During the Jurassic Period, the area that is now Yorkshire was influenced by marine environments that supported ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, fish and other sea life. Over millions of years, sediments accumulated on the seabed and preserved the remains of these animals as fossils. Later erosion and natural movement exposed fossil-bearing rocks, making specimens like this possible to discover. COLLECTABLE BRITISH JURASSIC DISPLAY FOSSILThis Jurassic ammonite fossil erratic block from Reighton Gap is a desirable specimen for collectors of British fossils, Yorkshire fossils, ammonites, Jurassic fossils, natural history pieces and educational geological material. Its natural matrix presentation gives it strong visual character, while its Jurassic age and UK locality make it a meaningful addition to a fossil cabinet or display shelf.The specimen has been carefully selected for authenticity, natural appearance and collectable value. With its genuine Jurassic age, classic British coastal provenance, actual-specimen photograph and included Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, this ammonite fossil erratic block offers a direct connection to the ancient marine world of Jurassic Britain.
