Identification and Geological Context
The supplied identification for this specimen is Harpoceras, a fossil ammonite. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods whose coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in the geological record. Their shells commonly display a spiral form and dividing suture patterns, features that have made ammonites important to collectors and to the study of Jurassic marine life.
The geological information supplied for this piece is Beacon Limestone, Jurassic, with the locality recorded as Ilminster, Somerset, UK. The Jurassic was a major period of Earth history known for extensive marine environments and abundant fossil preservation. The exact specimen-specific information provided for this listing is retained here without adding unsupported species, formation, age, grading or locality details beyond those supplied.
