Fossil Species and Ammonite Type

Androgynoceras is an extinct genus of ammonite, a shelled cephalopod related to modern squid, cuttlefish, and nautilus. Ammonites lived in ancient seas and are among the most recognisable fossils of the Jurassic Period. Their coiled shells, chambered internal structure, and decorative ribbing make them especially popular with collectors.

Androgynoceras ammonites are known from the Lower Jurassic and are associated with the rich ammonite faunas of the Charmouth and Lyme Regis area. They belong to the ammonoid group of cephalopods, marine animals that used their chambered shells for buoyancy control while swimming or drifting through the water column. The cut and polished preparation of this specimen reveals attractive internal detail and enhances the natural beauty of the fossil, making it ideal for both scientific interest and decorative display.

Green Ammonite Beds and Lower Lias Geology

This specimen comes from the Green Ammonite Beds, part of the Lower Lias succession exposed along the Dorset coast. These beds are famous for producing Jurassic ammonites and other marine fossils from one of the most historically important fossil collecting areas in the world. The Lower Lias represents marine sediments deposited during the Early Jurassic, when this part of southern Britain was covered by a shallow sea.

The Green Ammonite Beds are especially associated with ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, and other marine invertebrates. Their sediments were laid down on an ancient sea floor, where shells and organic remains became buried over time and preserved as fossils. The fine-grained rocks of this coastal sequence have produced countless important specimens and remain a classic source of British Jurassic fossils.

Jurassic Coast, Charmouth and Lyme Regis Provenance

Stonebarrow, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis sit within the world-famous Jurassic Coast of Dorset, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its outstanding geology and fossil record. This coastline is internationally recognised for its cliffs, landslips, foreshore exposures, and fossil-bearing layers that document life from the Mesozoic Era.

The Charmouth and Lyme Regis area has a long history of fossil discovery and scientific study. Ammonites from this region are highly collectable because of their strong locality appeal and connection to the early development of palaeontology in Britain. A genuine Androgynoceras ammonite from this area is not only an attractive fossil but also a piece of classic Jurassic Coast heritage.

Cut and Polished Fossil Display Piece

This ammonite has been cut and polished to reveal the internal structure and natural mineral patterns within the fossil. Polished ammonites are especially appealing because they show features that are not always visible on an unprepared outer shell, including chamber patterns, mineral infill, and cross-sectional detail. The polished finish makes the specimen suitable for display in a fossil cabinet, study collection, natural history room, office, or decorative interior setting.

Each fossil is unique, shaped by its original shell form, burial environment, mineralisation, and preparation. This specimen is sold as the actual fossil shown in the photo, so the buyer can see the exact piece being offered. With its Androgynoceras identification, Lower Lias age, Green Ammonite Beds provenance, and Dorset Jurassic Coast origin, this is a desirable genuine ammonite fossil for collectors of British fossils, polished fossils, ammonites, Jurassic specimens, and natural history items.
