Microderoceras ammonite from the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, England. This fossil was initially found in a large nodule on the beach at Lyme Regis, and has been carefully prepared using high detail precision tools to reveal the fossil for the first time in 196 million years. It has been prepared partly shell-on and partly shell-off. This ammonite is a juvenile of the species, with prematurely developed spines which were likely used for protection. The rock has a cut-base so that the piece can be displayed without the need of a stand.
Fossil dimensions: 25mm
Rock dimensions: 40x35mm
