Description
Fossil Identification
This listing is for a Tragophylloceras ammonite fossil presented as a split nodule with both the positive and negative sides. The specimen is identified with the Green Ammonite Beds, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast, and is associated with Golden Cap, Seatown, Dorset, UK. It offers collectors an attractive geological specimen with a named ammonite identification and a direct connection to one of Britain’s best-known fossil coastlines.
The positive and negative presentation is especially appealing for fossil collectors because it shows the two complementary surfaces created when the enclosing nodule was split. Together, these sides provide a more complete view of the preserved fossil impression and the surrounding matrix than a single fragment alone. The natural split-nodule format also makes this piece suitable for display, study, or inclusion in a collection focused on ammonites, Jurassic fossils, Dorset geology, or British paleontology.
Geological Context
The Green Ammonite Beds form part of the Lower Lias sequence associated with the Jurassic Coast. The Lower Lias is a significant Jurassic geological interval known for fossil-rich marine sediments and preserved ammonites. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with chambered, generally coiled shells. Their fossils are valued both for their scientific importance and for the distinctive forms, patterns, and textures created during preservation in sedimentary rock.
Tragophylloceras is the supplied ammonite identification for this specimen. Its named identification adds interest for collectors who catalogue fossils by genus rather than collecting ammonites only by broad group. The Jurassic Coast setting also gives the specimen strong appeal as a Dorset geological collectible and as an educational example of fossil preservation in Lower Lias material.
Collector and Display Appeal
This split ammonite nodule can be displayed with both matching sides visible, allowing the positive and negative surfaces to be appreciated together. It is well suited to fossil displays, geology cabinets, classroom collections, natural history shelves, and gifts for anyone interested in ammonites or the Jurassic Coast. The combination of a named Tragophylloceras identification, Green Ammonite Beds association, and Dorset locality makes it a distinctive addition to a British fossil collection.
Locality Details
The supplied locality is Golden Cap, Seatown, Dorset, UK, within the Jurassic Coast context. This geographical association makes the specimen particularly relevant to collectors interested in Dorset fossils and the geology of southern England.
