AB15 Ammonite 'Hoplites dorsetensis' (Spath) Cretaceous Albian Gault, Osmington Mills, Dorset

Ammonite 'Hoplites dorsetensis' (Spath) Cretaceous Albian Gault, Osmington Mills, Dorset.

A nice example, these are harder to come by these days at Osmington as those that have been found are largely the result of a landslip years ago and now the beach isn't replenishing. 

With thanks to a collector friend of Steve Etches, this specimen is from his lifetime's  collection, donated to The Etches Collection for the benefit of fundraising for the museum. 

Measures 9cm x 5.5cm

Weighs 415g
