This 8.5-inch Harpoceras fossil ammonite is a genuine Jurassic specimen associated with Beacon Limestone from Ilminster, Somerset, UK. It is an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geology display, educational cabinet or natural-history-themed interior. The combination of a named ammonite identification, Jurassic age and Somerset locality makes this a distinctive collector’s specimen with clear geological interest.
Geological Identification
Harpoceras is an ammonite, belonging to an extinct group of marine cephalopods that lived during the Mesozoic Era. Ammonites are especially valued by collectors because their coiled shells provide a recognisable record of ancient marine life and are widely used in palaeontology and geological study. This specimen is identified as Harpoceras and is described as Jurassic in age.
The supplied geological information records the material as Beacon Limestone, with the locality given as Ilminster, Somerset, United Kingdom. This places the specimen within the rich fossil and geological heritage of Somerset. The Jurassic Period is well known for its diverse marine fossil record, including ammonites, and Harpoceras specimens are of interest to collectors studying Jurassic life and fossil identification.
