This genuine Arnioceras fossil ammonite comes from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias at Lyme Regis, Dorset, on the Jurassic Coast. Expertly cleaned and prepared by the in-house team, it retains intricate ribbing and natural detail, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. SKU: CS8166. A tiny tooth picked up from the shingle on our Bouldnor–Hamstead visit, Isle of Wight. Initially described cautiously, then identified as an early mammal tooth in the original film.
