An Eteoderoceras ammonite fossil with golden pyrite colouring, associated with the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias at Stonebarrow Cliff near Charmouth, Dorset. Discovered by Alister and Alison, it was cleaned, prepared and treated by Alison, and includes a generic Certificate of Authenticity card. SKU: CF3943. A loose find from the shore at Worlebury Hill, Somerset, followed by a detailed phone close-up. The shape becomes much clearer in the hand.
