Giant Fossil Ammonite Unearthed on Isle of Wight

A massive fossil ammonite, believed to be a rare Epicheloniceras, has been unearthed from a boulder on the Isle of Wight's southwest coast. Fossil collector Jack Wonfor and a team of enthusiasts carefully extracted the 150kg fossil from the beach using a makeshift sled and rope system. The ammonite will be donated to the Dinosaur Isle Museum after it has been cleaned. Ammonites are ancient mollusks that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
