Description
This exceptional cut and polished British Jurassic Ammonite fossil is a stunning example of natural history and geological beauty. Sourced from Jurassic-age deposits in the UK, this specimen offers both scientific significance and aesthetic appeal. The specimen has been expertly sliced and polished to reveal the intricate internal chamber structure of the ammonite, showcasing mineral infill patterns and natural calcite crystallisation formed over millions of years.
Ammonites are extinct marine molluscs that thrived in Earth’s oceans during the Mesozoic Era, particularly the Jurassic Period (approx. 201 to 145 million years ago). They are part of the subclass Ammonoidea and are closely related to modern-day cephalopods like squids and octopuses. Their fossilised shells are prized for their spiral form and preservation quality.
The fossil in this listing is an actual, carefully selected specimen and the exact piece you see in the photographs. Scale rule squares/cube = 1cm. For full sizing details, please refer to the provided photo.
