The specimen is supplied as the actual fossil shown in the listing photographs, making it suitable for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, natural history displays and Jurassic Coast memorabilia collections.

Black Ven Marls and Lower Lias Geology

The Black Ven Marls form part of the Lower Lias geological succession exposed along the Dorset coast. The Jurassic Coast is internationally recognised for its extensive sequence of rocks and fossils, offering a valuable record of ancient marine environments. Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods, related in a broad biological sense to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their coiled shells and well-defined geological distribution make ammonites especially important to palaeontologists and collectors.

Tragophylloceras is an ammonite identification associated with the Jurassic fossil record. A Tragophylloceras specimen offers an appealing connection to the marine life represented in the Lower Lias and to the historic fossil-bearing cliffs around Lyme Regis and Charmouth. The surrounding nodule forms part of the specimen presentation and gives it the natural geological character sought by collectors of authentic British fossils.
