Description
Promicroceras Fossil Ammonite
This large Promicroceras fossil ammonite is a distinctive piece for fossil collectors, Jurassic Coast enthusiasts and anyone interested in the palaeontology of Dorset. The specimen is identified as a Promicroceras ammonite and comes from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, an important fossil-bearing geological unit associated with the Jurassic Coast.
Locality and Geological Setting
The recorded locality is Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, Dorset, UK. This places the specimen within one of Britain’s best-known fossil-collecting regions, where coastal exposures reveal sedimentary rocks containing remains of ancient marine life. The Black Ven Marls and Lower Lias are especially recognised for their fossil content and their importance to the study of Jurassic geology.
Ammonite Collector Interest
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in the oceans for millions of years. Their planispirally coiled shells, chambered construction and wide geological distribution make them important both as display fossils and as subjects for scientific study. Ammonite fossils are also valued for the information they can provide about ancient marine environments, sedimentary deposition and the passage of geological time.
Promicroceras specimens are particularly appealing to collectors seeking a named Jurassic ammonite from a documented Dorset locality. The combination of the Promicroceras identification, Black Ven Marls source and Lower Lias geological association gives this fossil strong regional and geological interest. It is suitable for a private fossil collection, educational display, geology cabinet or Jurassic Coast-themed presentation.
