Fossil Arnioceras Ammonite Bed Black Ven Marls Lower Lias Jurassic Coast UK

Description

Arnioceras Ammonite Fossil Bed

This fossil product features an Arnioceras ammonite bed associated with the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, from the Jurassic Coast at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. It is a geological and palaeontological piece connected with one of Britain’s best-known fossil-bearing coastal areas and offers collectors an opportunity to own a specimen identified with a named ammonite genus, geological unit and locality.

Identification and Geological Context

Arnioceras is an ammonite genus. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are widely valued for their importance in understanding Jurassic marine life and geological succession. The Lower Lias belongs to the Jurassic Period, while the Black Ven Marls provide the specific geological context supplied for this specimen. These details make the piece suitable for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, educational collections and anyone interested in the palaeontology of the Jurassic Coast.

The reference to an ammonite bed highlights the specimen’s association with a fossil-bearing layer rather than presenting it simply as an isolated fossil. Its named setting in the Black Ven Marls gives the piece added geological interest, while the Lyme Regis and Dorset locality connects it with the internationally recognised Jurassic Coast region. The combination of genus, formation-level locality information and geological age terminology makes this a useful addition to a collection focused on Jurassic fossils or British natural history.

Locality and Collector Interest

The supplied locality is Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, within the Jurassic Coast. Black Ven is closely associated with fossil collecting and geological study around Lyme Regis. A specimen linked to this location can be displayed as a conversation piece, incorporated into a teaching collection or used to support research into ammonites, Jurassic geology and fossil-bearing strata.

The specimen is also accompanied by the required authenticity wording below. Please retain the certificate with the fossil as part of its documentation and provenance information.
