Promicroceras ammonite from the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, England. This fossil was initially found in a small beach-worn pebble on Charmouth beach, and has been carefully prepared to reveal the fossil for the first time in 196 million years. The ammonite shell has been removed so that the orange/yellow calcite colours beneath can be seen. Part of the ammonite near the mouth border has been worn down by the sea, and this highlights the importance of collecting fossils on a rapidly eroding coastline. The rock has a cut-base so that the piece can be displayed without the need of a stand.
Fossil dimensions: 23mm
Rock dimensions: 35x35mm
