Item Description

A large-scale natural fossilised ammonite specimen. Sourced from South Ferriby Quarry, Lincolnshire, this striking fossil is of impressive scale, prominent structure, and museum quality.

This monumental fossil's scientific name is lower chalk Lewesiceras peramplum. Lewesiceras is a genus of large ammonites belonging to the order Ammonitida and the family Pachydiscidae.

It has a distinctive coiled shape with subtle ridges indicative of what once were the septa (walls) between its inner chambers.

Preserved over millions of years, this superb ammonite is a striking interior piece, perfect for a display or collector’s cabinet.
