At Somerset Reclamation, we’ve always been passionate about uncovering the stories hidden beneath our feet. One of our most exciting discoveries comes from the Lias Limestone—a fascinating sedimentary rock that harbors ancient treasures dating back to the Jurassic period. Over time, we’ve honed our fossil-hunting skills, carefully searching through each pipe of Lias stone and selecting only the most exquisite ammonites for our collection.
Why Lias Limestone Is So Special
The Lias Limestone formation is known for its abundance of fossils, particularly ammonites. These spiral-shelled creatures once thrived in prehistoric seas, and their fossilized remains now serve as captivating relics of Earth’s distant past. With each stone we inspect, we never know what we’ll uncover—sometimes it’s a small ammonite perched near the surface, while other times it’s a stunning, large specimen nestled deeper in the rock.
Fossil Hunting: Patience and Passion
Extracting these ancient gems is no simple feat. It requires patience, keen eyes, and a great deal of care. When we sort through the Lias stone, we meticulously remove debris, making sure we preserve the ammonite’s unique structure and detailing. Our team’s dedication ensures that every piece we offer has been treated with respect for its age and rarity.
Bringing History to Your Project
Each of our ammonites carries millions of years of geological history. Incorporating them into your space—whether it’s a home renovation or a landscape project—adds a timeless, natural touch that can’t be replicated. The swirling chambers of ammonites create a striking focal point, sparking conversations and bringing a sense of wonder to any environment.
