Description
FOSSIL AMMONITE BED
This fossil ammonite bed contains mixed species from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, located at Black Ven near Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, on the Jurassic Coast. It is a geological specimen connected with one of Britain’s best-known fossil-collecting areas and is suited to collectors, fossil enthusiasts, educational displays and natural history collections.
The supplied identification is recorded as a fossil ammonite bed with mixed species. Because the specimen represents a bed containing more than one species, it offers an opportunity to appreciate ammonites in a broader geological context rather than focusing on a single named species. The identification is presented at the level supplied for this specimen.
GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
The Lower Lias is a Jurassic geological unit, and the Black Ven Marls at Lyme Regis are well known for their fossil-bearing marine sediments. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are widely valued for their importance in studying ancient marine environments and Jurassic geology. Mixed ammonite material from a fossil bed can be especially interesting for collectors because it reflects the wider fossil content of a geological deposit.
The locality given for this specimen is Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, within the Jurassic Coast. This coastline is recognised for its exposed geological strata and fossil heritage. The locality and Lower Lias designation provide useful context for cataloguing, displaying or studying the specimen.
COLLECTOR AND DISPLAY USE
This fossil is suitable for a private fossil collection, geology cabinet, classroom resource, museum-style display or educational handling collection. It can be catalogued using SKU CF3820 and the supplied locality information: Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK.
The specimen may appeal to collectors interested in Jurassic fossils, ammonites, Lyme Regis geology, Dorset fossils, the Lower Lias and the geological heritage of the Jurassic Coast.
