Description
Schlotheimia Ammonite Fossil Multi Block
This fossil specimen is identified as a Schlotheimia ammonite fossil multi block from the Blue Lias Formation of the Lower Lias. It comes from the Jurassic Coast at Church Cliffs, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, a celebrated fossil-collecting area known for its important Jurassic exposures. With its named ammonite identification and documented geological setting, this is an appealing addition for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, museum-style displays and educational collections.
Geological Setting
The Blue Lias Formation is part of the Lower Lias sequence and is exposed along the Jurassic Coast. The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage coastline with internationally significant geology, extending through Dorset and offering access to rocks and fossils from the Jurassic period. Lyme Regis and the Church Cliffs area are especially associated with the study and collection of Jurassic marine fossils.
The Lower Lias represents an important interval in Earth history. Its sedimentary rocks preserve evidence of ancient marine environments and the organisms that lived in them. Ammonites are among the most recognisable Jurassic fossils, making this specimen particularly suitable for anyone interested in palaeontology, stratigraphy and the natural history of southern England.
About Schlotheimia Ammonites
Schlotheimia is an ammonite genus. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their coiled shells are widely valued by collectors because they provide a clear connection between fossil form, ancient marine life and geological time. The identification of Schlotheimia places this specimen within the ammonite fossil record of the Lower Lias.
A multi-block fossil can provide an engaging geological display by presenting the specimen in its prepared block format. The natural rock context is an important part of the appeal of many Jurassic Coast fossils, allowing collectors to appreciate both the fossil and the sedimentary setting in which it was preserved. This specimen may be displayed as part of a cabinet collection, geology classroom, fossil study area or Jurassic Coast themed arrangement.
