£ 24.00
GENUINE ANDROGYNOCERAS AMMONITE FOSSILThis listing is for a genuine Androgynoceras ammonite fossil from the Green
Ammonite Beds, Lower Lias, collected from the Jurassic Coast at Golden Cap, Seatown, Dorset, UK. This is a carefully chosen fossil specimen with excellent British Jurassic provenance, selected for its natural character, collectable appeal and connection to one of the most famous fossil-bearing coastlines in the world.The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive, allowing you to view the fossil’s form, preservation 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 and geology gifts. ABOUT ANDROGYNOCERAS AMMONITESAndrogynoceras is an extinct genus of ammonite from the Early Jurassic seas. Ammonites were marine cephalopods, 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 ancient marine environment.Androgynoceras ammonites are associated with the Lower Jurassic, particularly the Pliensbachian Stage, and are well known from classic British Jurassic deposits. The genus belongs to the family Liparoceratidae, a group of ammonites often recognised for their robust, ornamented shells. Many specimens show strong ribs, rounded whorls and prominent shell sculpture, giving them an attractive and distinctive appearance for collectors. SHELL FORM AND FOSSIL FEATURESAndrogynoceras ammonites typically display a coiled shell with well-developed ornamentation. Depending on preservation, examples may show bold ribbing, rounded whorl sections and a strong sculptural form. These features reflect the shell architecture of a successful Jurassic marine animal, adapted for life in the open water or near the ancient seabed.The shell was originally divided internally into chambers, separated by walls called septa. These chambers allowed the ammonite to control buoyancy, while the living animal extended from the final body chamber. Fossils such as this preserve the mineralised remains of that shell, giving collectors a direct connection to an animal that lived in the Jurassic seas millions of years ago. GREEN AMMONITE BEDS AND LOWER LIAS GEOLOGYThis specimen comes from the Green Ammonite Beds, part of the Lower Lias sequence exposed along the Dorset coast. These fossil-rich Jurassic rocks are famous for preserving ammonites and other marine fossils from ancient seas that once covered southern Britain.The Lower Lias represents a marine depositional environment where muds, silts and limestones accumulated on the seabed. Over time, the remains of ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, fish and marine reptiles became buried within these sediments and fossilised. Ammonites from these beds are particularly important because they help geologists understand the age and correlation of Jurassic rock layers. GOLDEN CAP, SEATOWN AND THE JURASSIC COASTGolden Cap and Seatown, Dorset form part of the world-famous Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its outstanding sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks. The cliffs and foreshore around this area are historically important for fossil collecting and geological study, offering a remarkable record of ancient environments and prehistoric life.Fossils from this locality are highly sought after for their classic British provenance. An ammonite from Golden Cap connects the collector directly to one of the most iconic fossil coastlines in the UK, where natural erosion continues to reveal evidence of marine life from the Jurassic Period. COLLECTABLE BRITISH JURASSIC DISPLAY FOSSILThis Androgynoceras ammonite fossil is a desirable specimen for collectors of British fossils, Jurassic Coast fossils, ammonites, Dorset fossils, Lower Lias specimens and natural history display pieces. Its origin from the Green Ammonite Beds at Golden Cap, Seatown gives it strong geological context and excellent collectable appeal.The specimen has been carefully selected for authenticity, natural appearance and display value. With its genuine Jurassic age, classic UK locality, actual-specimen photograph and included Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, this Androgynoceras fossil offers a direct connection to the ancient marine world of Jurassic Dorset.
