Microderoceras Ammonite Fossil Lower Lias Jurassic Coast Lyme Regis Dorset U.K. Certificate

Description

Microderoceras Ammonite Fossil

This fossil listing features a Microderoceras ammonite, identified within the Lower Lias of the Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. It is a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, geological display, natural history cabinet or educational study group. The product name and locality details connect this specimen with one of Britain’s best-known fossil areas and with rocks from the Jurassic period.

Identification and Geological Context

Microderoceras is an ammonite, belonging to an extinct group of marine cephalopods that lived in ancient seas. Ammonites are recognised for their coiled shell form and are important to palaeontology because their fossils are frequently used when studying the succession of geological strata. Their shells may preserve features useful for comparison, including the overall coil, whorl shape, ribbing and suture patterns, although the visible characteristics of each individual specimen can vary according to preservation.

The Lower Lias forms part of the Early Jurassic succession. In the Lyme Regis area, Lower Lias rocks are closely associated with the fossil-rich exposures of the Jurassic Coast. This coastal region is widely valued for its geological importance and for the range of fossils found within its sedimentary rocks. The supplied geological designation is: Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK.

Collector and Display Appeal

A Microderoceras ammonite offers several avenues for interest. Fossil collectors may appreciate its connection with Lower Lias geology and the classic Lyme Regis locality. Students and educators can use ammonites to introduce subjects including extinct marine life, fossilisation, stratigraphy, palaeontology and the geological history of southern Britain. It can also be displayed as a natural-history object alongside other Jurassic fossils or geological specimens.

The Lyme Regis reference gives this item a strong locality-based appeal. Lyme Regis is associated with the Jurassic Coast and is especially well known among collectors for its links to Jurassic palaeontology. The combination of an ammonite identification, Lower Lias geological context and Dorset locality makes this specimen suitable for anyone building a themed Jurassic or British fossil collection.
