Description
Schlotheimia Ammonite Fossil
A distinctive Schlotheimia ammonite fossil associated with the Blue Lias Formation of the Lower Lias, from the Jurassic Coast at Church Cliffs, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. This fossil is suited to collectors of ammonites, Jurassic fossils, British geology and natural history specimens, as well as anyone looking for an educational geological display piece with a clearly recorded collecting location.
Geological Setting
The Blue Lias Formation is a well-known geological unit exposed along parts of the Jurassic Coast. Lyme Regis and the surrounding Dorset coastline are internationally recognised for their fossil-bearing rocks and importance to geological study. Church Cliffs is part of this notable coastal setting, making the stated location especially relevant to collectors interested in the geology of southern Britain and the fossil history preserved within the Lower Lias.
Ammonite Fossil Interest
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are among the most recognisable forms in the geological record. They are valued for their scientific importance, attractive shell form and connection with ancient marine environments. A Schlotheimia ammonite fossil provides an engaging way to explore Jurassic palaeontology, fossil collecting and the history of life preserved in sedimentary rock.
The supplied identification makes this specimen particularly suitable for displays focused on ammonites or Jurassic Coast fossils. It can also complement a collection of British fossils, geological specimens from Dorset, or examples from the Blue Lias Formation. Its labelled locality information helps connect the specimen with the geology of Church Cliffs and Lyme Regis.
