£ 60.00
GENUINE BECHEICERAS FOSSIL AMMONITE FROM CHARMOUTHThis listing is for a genuine Becheiceras fossil ammonite from the Green
Ammonite Beds, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. This carefully chosen fossil specimen includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card. The photo shows the actual ammonite you will receive, allowing you to view the natural preservation, shape, matrix, surface detail and display character of this individual specimen 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 on the Jurassic Coast through to careful preparation, making it an appealing choice for collectors who value genuine provenance and properly presented British fossils. BECHEICERAS AMMONITE INFORMATIONBecheiceras is an Early Jurassic ammonite genus known from Lower Lias deposits. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautilus, and they lived inside coiled, chambered shells. Their fossilised shells are among the most recognisable remains of Jurassic marine life and are highly valued by collectors for their scientific importance, natural symmetry and strong visual appeal.Becheiceras ammonites are typically appreciated for their compact coiled form and classic Lower Jurassic character. Depending on preservation, specimens may show visible whorl structure, natural shell curvature, ribbing, growth lines, matrix association or mineralised surface detail. These features make the fossil suitable for both display and study, especially for collectors interested in named ammonite genera from the Dorset coast.Ammonites are also important index fossils because many genera and species evolved rapidly and were widely distributed in ancient seas. This makes them useful for interpreting the relative age of sedimentary rocks. A Becheiceras from the Lower Lias therefore has both decorative and palaeontological interest, linking the specimen to a well-known interval of Early Jurassic marine history. GREEN AMMONITE BEDS AND LOWER LIAS GEOLOGYThis specimen comes from the Green Ammonite Beds, part of the Lower Lias sequence exposed around Charmouth and Lyme Regis. These rocks were deposited during the Early Jurassic in a marine environment where fine sediments accumulated on the seabed. Over millions of years, the remains of ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, gastropods, fish and marine reptiles were buried and preserved within the fossil-bearing layers now visible along the coast.The Green Ammonite Beds are especially well known among collectors for producing attractive ammonites and other marine fossils. The name reflects the distinctive fossil-bearing horizons associated with this classic Jurassic Coast geology. Fossils from these beds are sought after because they combine strong locality appeal with a recognised geological setting and an important place in British palaeontology. STONEBARROW CLIFF, CHARMOUTH AND THE JURASSIC COASTStonebarrow Cliff near Charmouth is one of the notable fossil-bearing areas of the Dorset Jurassic Coast. The coastline around Charmouth and Lyme Regis has a long and famous history of fossil collecting and scientific discovery, with its cliffs and foreshore exposing rocks rich in Lower Jurassic fossils. Specimens from this area are highly collectable because they come from one of the most iconic fossil regions in the United Kingdom.The Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its outstanding sequence of rocks and fossils that record a remarkable span of Earth history. Fossils from Charmouth carry excellent provenance for collectors of British fossils, Dorset ammonites, Jurassic Coast specimens and Lower Lias marine life. PREPARATION, DISPLAY AND COLLECTABLE APPEALThis Becheiceras ammonite has been cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison to help present the fossil clearly while retaining its natural geological character. Careful preparation is important for Jurassic ammonites, as it helps reveal the form, surface detail and surrounding matrix while preserving the authentic appearance of the specimen.This fossil is suitable for ammonite collectors, fossil enthusiasts, geology students, natural history displays, educational collections, cabinet displays or as a distinctive gift for someone interested in British palaeontology. Its named genus, Lower Lias age, Green Ammonite Beds origin, Stonebarrow Cliff locality 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 Becheiceras ammonite an authentic and attractive Jurassic fossil from Charmouth, Dorset, UK.
