This auction is for a stunning example of a highly pyritised ammonite fossil of the species Eoderoceras (Eteoderoceras) armatum from the world famous Jurassic Coast beach of Charmouth, Dorset UK. The fossil measures 90 mm (3.54 inches) across with matrix, which is very large for this species. The ammonite is very well preserved on both sides on the edge of a pyrite matrix that is composed of the crushed outer whorl of the shell. The ribs and sutures are very finely defin...ed and the golden colour is beautiful. A great example of the species. Incredible in the flesh. These big ammonites are becoming very hard to find and are very sought after. This fossil weighs 210 grams.Around 195 million years old (Sinemurian, Early Jurassic), this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection.

Pyrite is a form of iron which sometimes occurs as a replacement mineral during the fossilisation process, depending on conditions in the sediment at the time in which the process takes place as well as the composition of the creature being preserved. It has the appearence of gold which is why it is commonly known as 'fool's gold'. Pyrite ammonites only occur in very specific and limited locations around the world and ones from Charmouth are just about the most famous of the lot.
