Description
Echioceras Golden Ammonite Fossil
This listed specimen is identified as an Echioceras golden ammonite fossil from the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, UK. It is associated with the Black Ven Marls and the Lower Lias, making it a notable geological collectable for fossil enthusiasts, ammonite collectors, natural history displays and geology education.
Location and Geological Context
The supplied location information is: Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, LYME REGIS, Dorset, UK
The Black Ven area near Charmouth and Lyme Regis is internationally recognised for its fossil-bearing coastal geology. The Lower Lias forms part of the Jurassic succession exposed along the Jurassic Coast, where marine sedimentary rocks preserve evidence of ancient sea environments. This geological setting is especially associated with ammonites and other Jurassic marine fossils.
About Echioceras Ammonites
Echioceras is an ammonite genus associated with Jurassic marine deposits. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern nautiluses, squid and cuttlefish. Their shells were typically divided into internal chambers, which helped regulate buoyancy as the animal lived in the sea. Over geological time, ammonite shells developed a wide range of forms and ornamentation, making them important subjects for palaeontology and highly sought-after additions to fossil collections.
The identification supplied for this item is Echioceras. No species-level identification is stated, so the listing focuses on the genus, geological unit and documented Jurassic Coast location. The combination of an identifiable ammonite genus with a named Lower Lias setting gives this fossil strong educational value for studying Jurassic marine life, stratigraphy and the history of fossil collecting along the Dorset coast.
Collector and Display Appeal
This Echioceras ammonite is suitable for a personal fossil collection, geology cabinet, classroom resource, museum-style display or gift for someone interested in palaeontology. Its documented association with Black Ven Marls, Stonebarrow Cliff and the Charmouth area adds useful context for display labels and educational interpretation. It can be presented as a representative Jurassic Coast fossil connected with the Lower Lias and the marine fossil record of Dorset.
