Everything Dinosaur team members have been featured in a blog article posted by a fossil collector and organiser of guided fossil walks at Lyme Regis. Brandon Lennon wrote about the ammonite figures that we supplied him. These models make excellent teaching resources when explaining about the creatures that the Lyme Regis ammonite fossils represent.

We spotted a Bullyland ammonite model being used to help illustrate a display of ammonite fossils. Ammonite replicas are often purchased by fossil hunters.

Ammonite Models

Ammonite models supplied by Everything Dinosaur can be spotted in museums. Palaeontologists use them in their science outreach work. Fossil collectors like to display the models next to ammonite fossils.

The Bullyland, large ammonite model is a popular choice amongst palaeontologists and fossil collectors.

Brandon Lennon leads guided fossil walks in the Lyme Regis and Charmouth areas. These walks are extremely well attended, and Brandon uses the ammonite figures to help explain a little about these enigmatic cephalopods.

The blog article states:

“Thanks to Mike and Sue at Everything Dinosaur! I received a great parcel from them that will help me no end on the Jurassic Coast fossil walks! They have provided some ammonite models to show the morphology of an ammonite with! The Bullyland ammonite proves helpful when it comes to explaining how fossils are interpreted and a “living” animal reconstructed. See everythingdinosaur1 for its amazing array of educational models they are on Instagram. See the ammonite models on their Instagram page and much, much more!”
