This asteroceras ammonite was found on the beach at Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset in 2023, and displays some unusual colours. It has been prepared largely shell-off so that the calcite colours beneath the shell can be seen. There is also a small bite mark on the outer whorl of the ammonite where it was likely attacked and subsequently killed by another Jurassic sea creature. Approximately 195 million years old.
Fossil dimensions: 38mm
Rock dimensions: 70mm x 50mm
