This approximately 3 cm ammonite remains nestled in its natural rock matrix, where its ribbed whorls give the fossil a sculptural, tactile character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmmonites were marine cephalopods related to squid. Their coiled shells contained chambers that helped them regulate buoyancy. Ammonites occur in Jurassic rocks across Scotland, including the Inner Hebrides, but this specimen's precise collecting locality, geological formation, age and species were not supplied and have not been independently confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e One ammonite fossil in matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmmonite size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReported origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies and exact age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unconfirmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe natural matrix has irregular edges and surface textures.
