Description
Asteroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil
A distinctive fossil specimen identified as Asteroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil, associated with the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias on the Jurassic Coast. The recorded location is Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, an internationally recognised coastal area valued by fossil collectors for its rich geological heritage and access to important Lower Lias exposures.
Location and Geological Context
This specimen is recorded from the Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. The Lower Lias forms part of the Jurassic succession represented along the Dorset coast. Black Ven and the surrounding Lyme Regis area are especially well known for their fossil-bearing rocks and long history of fossil collecting. The locality provides an important setting for specimens connected with Jurassic marine geology.
Asteroceras and Ammonite Fossils
Asteroceras is an ammonite fossil identification. Ammonites were extinct marine molluscs with coiled shells, and their fossils are among the most recognisable examples of Jurassic palaeontology. Their planispiral forms and presence in marine sedimentary rocks have made ammonites important to collectors, students and researchers interested in ancient marine environments and the geological history of the Jurassic.
The combination of the Asteroceras identification, calcite fossil material and Black Ven Marls locality gives this piece strong appeal for fossil collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic Coast specimens, Lyme Regis material or Lower Lias geology. It can be used as a collection piece, educational geological display or conversation starter for anyone interested in palaeontology and the natural history of Dorset.
