Identification and Geological Context
Caloceras johnstoni is an ammonite fossil from the Jurassic period. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossilised forms are highly valued for their scientific importance, distinctive morphology and place in the geological record. The Blue Lias is well known for Jurassic fossil material, providing an important context for ammonites and other marine organisms preserved from this period.
This specimen is associated with Watchet, Somerset, UK. The combination of the Caloceras johnstoni identification, Blue Lias association and Jurassic age makes this a particularly interesting piece for collectors who focus on ammonites, British fossils or Jurassic palaeontology. The fossil can be displayed as a standalone geological specimen or incorporated into a wider collection of ammonites and UK fossil material.
Collector Display and Educational Interest
The characteristic ammonite form offers an accessible way to explore the history of marine life and the evolution of cephalopods. Fossils such as this can be used as conversation pieces, educational display items or additions to a specialist collection. Its iridescent quality gives the specimen added decorative appeal while retaining a strong connection to natural history and geology.
