Description
Gleviceras Golden Pyrite Ammonite Fossil
This Gleviceras ammonite fossil is a distinctive Jurassic Coast collectible featuring golden pyrite and an identification associated with the Lower Lias. It is connected with the Black Ven Marls at Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, near Lyme Regis in Dorset, UK. The combination of a named ammonite fossil, classic Dorset location and pyrite appearance makes this an appealing piece for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts and anyone interested in the palaeontology of the Jurassic Coast.
Geological Location and Context
The recorded locality is Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, LYME REGIS, Dorset, UK. The Lower Lias forms part of the Jurassic geological record, a period well known for marine fossils and sedimentary rocks. The Jurassic Coast of Dorset is internationally recognised for its exposed geological history, and the Lyme Regis and Charmouth area is especially associated with fossil collecting and the study of Jurassic marine life.
Fossil Identification
The specimen is identified as Gleviceras, an ammonite. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells and are among the most recognisable fossils from the Mesozoic Era. Their fossils are valued for their scientific importance, distinctive form and connection with ancient marine environments. Gleviceras gives this piece a more specific collecting interest than an unidentified ammonite, making it suitable for a fossil display, geological cabinet or educational collection.
Golden Pyrite Detail
The product name identifies this as a golden pyrite ammonite fossil. Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral known for its bright metallic golden colour, often giving fossil specimens an eye-catching appearance. The golden pyrite element adds visual appeal while retaining the geological character of a Jurassic ammonite from the Dorset coast. It can be displayed as a standalone natural history object or alongside other ammonites, Jurassic fossils and mineral specimens.
Collector and Display Appeal
This Dorset fossil is well suited to collectors seeking a Jurassic Coast fossil, Lyme Regis fossil, Lower Lias fossil or genuine ammonite specimen with a clearly recorded locality. It also makes a thoughtful gift for geology students, fossil enthusiasts, natural history collectors and admirers of the Jurassic Coast. The named location provides useful context for a display label, while the Gleviceras identification gives the specimen a focused palaeontological interest.
