These Ammonites, which are found in Somerset, UK, are predominantly Hildoceras sp., but may include other ammonite species that inhabited the Somerset region during the Jurassic period.

 

Ammonites are one of the most recognisable fossils around, this is due to their familiar spiral shape shell, reminiscent of what we know as a snail shell, though these creatures are not related to snails at all! They were marine animals, present between 240 – 65 million years ago, who had a coiled external shell like that of the modern nautilus, and although they resembled a modern-day nautilus, these molluscs are more closely related to living coleoids (i.e. octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish!)

 

These creatures varied in size, ranging from only a few millimetres to some fossils being found measuring a whopping 8 feet (96 inches)!!

Description

This listing is for a genuine Ammonite fossil originating from the Jurassic-aged strata of Somerset, UK. Ammonites are extinct marine molluscs, closely related to modern-day cephalopods like squid and octopuses. Their coiled, chambered shells make them iconic and easily recognisable.

This ammonite specimen is a stunning representation of these ancient creatures that once populated the seas around 180–200 million years ago. Collected from sedimentary layers in Somerset, this fossil is well-preserved and exhibits the intricate spiraled structure typical of its kind.

Each fossil is a carefully selected specimen, and the photo shows the actual piece you will receive. A scale cube = 1cm is included in the image for size reference.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
