This auction is for a stunning and huge 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 86 mm (3.4 inches) across which is very large for this species. The ammonite is beautifully preserved and is matrix-free, which is hard to find in this species. The ribs are very finely defined and the metallic colour and shine is beautiful. It is ve...ry chunky and thick for this species. Examples of this quality are rare these days. These ammonites are becoming harder to find these days. This one is a real beauty and one of the best I've had to offer. A heavy fossil, weighing in at 270 grams.Around 196 million years old (Sinemurian, Early Jurassic), this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
Please take some time to check out my other items and to add me to your favourites list. If you would like any more information on any of my fossils or anything fossil related please don't hesitate to email me, I'm always happy to try and help! *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 appearance 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.
