Oistoceras Ammonite Fossil

This genuine Oistoceras ammonite specimen comes from the Green Ammonite Beds of the Lower Lias on the Jurassic Coast.

With its clearly documented identification and collecting location, this is an appealing piece for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, educational displays and natural history collections.

Geological Location

The specimen is identified as an Oistoceras ammonite from the Green Ammonite Beds, Lower Lias. The locality is listed as Jurassic Coast: Stonebarrow, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. Charmouth and the wider Lyme Regis area are renowned for their fossil-bearing coastal rocks, where naturally exposed strata have made the region an important destination for geological study and responsible fossil collecting.

Ammonites are extinct marine molluscs related to modern cephalopods such as squid and nautiluses. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in the geological record, and ammonite specimens are widely collected for their scientific, historical and display value. Oistoceras provides a named identification that adds particular interest for collectors who focus on ammonites, Jurassic geology or fossils from the Dorset coast.

Collector and Display Interest

This Oistoceras ammonite is suited to a fossil display, geology cabinet, educational collection or gift for someone interested in palaeontology. The combination of a named ammonite identification, Lower Lias context and specific Charmouth locality gives the specimen useful geological character beyond being a decorative natural object. It can also serve as a tangible example for discussions about marine life, fossilisation, stratigraphy and the geological heritage of the Jurassic Coast.

The locality information is supplied as Green Ammonite Beds, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Stonebarrow, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. This makes the piece especially relevant to collectors building a regional Dorset fossil collection or comparing specimens from different beds and coastal localities.
