Tragophylloceras Fossil Ammonite Green Ammonite Beds Lower Lias Jurassic Coast

Description

Identification

This listing is for a Tragophylloceras fossil ammonite associated with the Green Ammonite Beds of the Lower Lias on the Jurassic Coast. Tragophylloceras is an ammonite name of particular interest to fossil collectors, combining a distinctive scientific identification with one of the best-known fossil-bearing coastal areas in Dorset. The specimen is suitable for collectors of ammonites, Jurassic fossils, British geology and natural history displays.

Geological Setting

The Green Ammonite Beds form part of the Lower Lias, a Jurassic geological succession represented along the Jurassic Coast. Ammonites were marine cephalopods with coiled shells and are widely valued in geology because their fossils help demonstrate the diversity of ancient marine life and support the study of geological sequences. The Jurassic Coast is internationally recognised for its exposed rocks and fossil-bearing strata, making material connected with this area especially appealing to collectors interested in the geology of southern England.

Locality

The listed locality for this specimen is Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, LYME REGIS, Dorset, UK. This Dorset coastal setting places the fossil within a region known for its accessible geological exposures and long history of fossil collecting. The locality information adds useful context for a display label, collection record or educational presentation focused on British Jurassic palaeontology.

Collection and Preparation

Your specimen was discovered by our own team members, Alister and Alison, and has been cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison.

This wording records the collection and preparation history supplied with the specimen. As a prepared fossil, it can be incorporated into a personal ammonite collection, geological cabinet or teaching display. The scientific name and geological setting also make it suitable for anyone building a focused collection of Lower Lias fossils from the Jurassic Coast.

Authenticity

This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.

The certificate wording is included with the item as stated above. It provides accompanying documentation for collectors who value provenance information and written identification context alongside their fossil specimens.

Collector and Display Use

A Tragophylloceras ammonite from the Green Ammonite Beds offers a strong subject for a fossil display centred on Jurassic marine life, Lower Lias geology or the fossil localities of Dorset. It may also appeal to collectors specialising in ammonites, British fossils, Jurassic Coast material or scientifically labelled natural history specimens. The combination of genus identification, named bed, geological stage and Dorset locality makes the piece well suited to a collection record, display card or educational setting.
