Pyritic Ammonite specimens from Charmouth

Various pyritic Ammonites from Charmouth, typically Promicroceras. These pieces are typically brushed with a brass brush to give them a golden shine - however, we often stock pieces as they are found, so you have the choice of whether to brush them or not.

These Ammonites are found on the beaches around Lyme Regis and Charmouth, although the sheer amount of fossil hunters can render finding them quite difficult without a tour or experience!

These pieces are usually supplied with silica gel - we recommend keeping the sachet with the fossil and not storing them in a humid environment.

Currently, our stock comprises of:

#1 - 16.6x14.4x3.9MM - a smaller piece with some nice detail in the centre.
#2 - 14.1x11.9x4MM - a nice small piece with good details except for the centre.
#3 - 14.4x12.5x8MM - an interesting wider Ammonite, quite thick.
#4 - 10x8.5x3.8MM - nice smaller piece, sadly a little weathered.
#5 - 12.7x10.4x5MM - nicely detailed piece.
#6 - 10x8.2x3.6MM - nicely detailed cute little piece.
#7 - 29.5x19x8MM - three partial Ammonites on a matrix piece.
#8 - 16.1x13.4x5.2MM - a nicely detailed partially brassy piece.
#9 - a packet of six lower quality or damaged Ammonites from Charmouth.
#10 - a packet of six lower quality or damaged Ammonites from Charmouth.
#11 - 27x23.5x6.5MM - a nice specimen with visible sutures but sadly some damage to the centre.
#12 - 34.5x28x9.5MM - an odd little piece with some possible bite damage; it is missing its centre entirely.
#13 - 27x22.2x5MM - a mostly complete piece with some damage and weathering, good sutures visible though.
#14 - 17.4x12.8x6.5MM - a cool specimen with some well formed Pyrite crystals on its face.
#15 - 30.7x22.4x9.6MM - a cracked Pyrite nodule with at least two Ammonites in.
#16 - 25x16x14.5MM - a reasonably well detailed Ammonite in the midst of a nodule.
#17 - 29.5x22x10.5MM - at least two smaller Ammonites sitting atop a larger one.
#18 - 19.5x16x6.3MM - a pretty well preserved specimen with good sutures visible.

#22 - 15.8x12.6x4.7MM - a heavily weathered and damaged piece.
#23 - 7.8x6.5x3MM - a nice condition piece, albeit on the small side!
#24 - 16x13x4.3MM - a heavily weathered piece with some evidence of having been crushed.
#25 - 15x13x5.1MM - of particular interest is the missing piece - possibly a sign of predation.

#A8 - 36.3x30.6x8.5MM - a nice large Ammonite with a missing centre. It looks as though someone has attempted to repair this, so there may still be some glue residue in the centre.

#A10 - 39x34x19.5MM - two Ammonites in a pyritic nodule.

Frequently asked questions and delivery information

How do we grade stones?

There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.

How does our ordering and delivery process work?

You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.

I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.

How do international orders work?

After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
