Sea-Worn Becheiceras Fossil Ammonite – Jurassic Ammonite – Genuine Specimen with Certificate

Original price was: £24.00.Current price is: £21.60.

Offered here is a Sea-Worn Fossil Ammonite of the genus Becheiceras, a beautiful and historically significant marine fossil. This specimen was discovered by our own team members Alister and Alison on 25 April 2023, and has been carefully cleaned, prepped, and treated by Alison.

Becheiceras is an extinct genus of ammonite, a group of marine molluscs that lived during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods. These cephalopods were related to modern squid and nautilus, and are renowned for their spiral, chambered shells. While many Becheiceras specimens are preserved with intricate detail, this example is sea-worn, giving it a naturally smoothed appearance that highlights the enduring structure of the shell after millions of years of ocean exposure.

This particular specimen, although smoothed by water action, still displays the distinctive broad and flattened whorls typical of Becheiceras, with subtle hints of the original ribbing. The worn nature adds to its uniqueness and charm, often preferred by collectors seeking more naturalistic, wave-polished fossils.

The fossil has been professionally photographed with a 1cm scale cube for size reference. The image shows the actual specimen you will receive.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
