Here’s an ammonite deathbed preserved in shale 🔬🏝 Fossils preserved this way are often partially crushed, as can be seen here, and are quickly eroded away by the sea if they’re not saved 🦖🏝 Thanks for supporting our page! 🐊 #natural #nature #fossil #fossils #ancient #animals #art #ammonite #ammonites #dinosaur #scientist #minerals #paleontology #whitby #geologist #dorset #geology #charmouth #jurassic #yorkshire | Yorkshire Fossils

Here is a perfect ammonite rock that we found stuck in the soft mud and opened up on the beach with a geology hammer 🏝🌊 Inside, a stunning Dactylioceras ammonite from the Jurassic 😍🦑 This ammonite is around 180 Million Years Old 💀 They don’t often preserve well enough to split on both sides but this specimen was perfectly preserved and opened easily with small taps of the hammer 🦖If you would like an ammonite rock like this to crack open yourself, please message us directly @yorkshire.foss
