£ 14.40
GENUINE CYMBITES FOSSIL AMMONITE MULTI BLOCKThis listing is for a genuine Cymbites fossil ammonite multi block from the
Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Monmouth Beach, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. This is a carefully chosen fossil specimen and includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card. The photo shows the actual specimen you will receive, allowing you to view the natural fossil arrangement, matrix, preservation, surface texture and overall display character 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 at one of Britain’s most famous fossil locations through to careful preparation for display and collection. CYMBITES AMMONITE INFORMATIONCymbites is a small Early Jurassic ammonite genus known from Lower Lias deposits. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods, related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautilus, and they lived within coiled, chambered shells. Their shells are among the most recognisable fossils from the Jurassic Period and are especially valued by collectors for their elegant spiral form and importance in geological dating.Cymbites ammonites are generally compact and neatly coiled, often with a smooth or lightly ornamented appearance compared with more strongly ribbed Lower Jurassic ammonites. Their smaller form makes them attractive when preserved in natural blocks, especially where multiple fossil elements are visible together in the same matrix. A Cymbites multi block can offer more than a single isolated fossil, showing a natural association of ammonite material within the original rock and giving the piece added geological context. LOWER LIAS AND BLACK VEN MARLS GEOLOGYThis fossil comes from the Black Ven Marls, part of the Lower Lias sequence exposed around Lyme Regis and the Dorset coast. These Early Jurassic rocks were deposited in ancient marine environments, where fine muds, silts and calcareous sediments accumulated on the seabed. Over millions of years, the remains of marine animals such as ammonites, belemnites, bivalves and marine reptiles became preserved within these sediments.The Lower Lias is especially important for ammonite fossils because many genera evolved rapidly and became useful markers for dating rock layers. Ammonites such as Cymbites are part of this wider Early Jurassic fossil record, helping represent the diversity of marine life in the seas that once covered this part of southern England. The Black Ven Marls are well known for fossil-bearing horizons and are strongly associated with classic Lyme Regis palaeontology. MONMOUTH BEACH, LYME REGIS JURASSIC COAST LOCALITYMonmouth Beach at Lyme Regis is one of the most iconic fossil collecting areas on the Jurassic Coast. The coastline around Lyme Regis has a long and historic connection with palaeontology, famous for its ammonites, marine reptiles and richly fossiliferous Lower Jurassic rocks. Fossils from this area are highly collectable because they combine scientific interest, strong locality appeal and an internationally recognised geological setting.The Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its exceptional sequence of rocks and fossils recording around 185 million years of Earth history. A specimen from Monmouth Beach carries excellent provenance for collectors of British fossils, Dorset fossils, Jurassic ammonites and classic Lower Lias material. NATURAL MULTI BLOCK DISPLAY SPECIMENThis Cymbites fossil ammonite multi block has been cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison to help present the specimen clearly while preserving its natural character. Multi block specimens are particularly appealing because they retain the fossils within their surrounding matrix, offering a more natural view of how the ammonites were preserved in the rock. The block format gives the piece strong display value and makes it suitable for fossil cabinets, educational collections, geology displays, natural history collections or decorative fossil presentation.As a named ammonite specimen from the Black Ven Marls, this piece is a desirable addition to a collection focused on Early Jurassic marine fossils, British palaeontology, Lyme Regis fossils or Jurassic Coast specimens. Its genuine team-discovered provenance adds further appeal for collectors who appreciate fossils with a clear origin and preparation history. 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 Cymbites ammonite multi block a well-documented and attractive addition to any fossil collection.
