Lower Gault (Cretaceous period)
Small Dole Clay Pit, Henfield, West Sussex
Small Dole Clay Pit was a classic site for Lower Gault ammonites but it has now been infilled. It produced a remarkable diversity of well preserved fossils in the 1970s and 1980s.
This is a very large specimen. The shell is slightly crushed and it may have no centre, but it is still very impressive. It was collected in 1984.
