Promicroceras Ammonite Fossil Bed Black Ven Marls Jurassic Coast Dorset UK

Description

Promicroceras Ammonite Fossil Bed

This fossil specimen is identified as a Promicroceras ammonite fossil bed from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast, Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. It offers collectors an authentic geological connection to one of Britain’s best-known fossil localities and is suited to fossil collections, geology displays, educational use and natural-history décor.

Geological Identification and Locality

Promicroceras is an ammonite fossil identification associated with the Lower Lias. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are highly valued for their importance in studying ancient marine environments and Jurassic geology. The stated locality is Black Ven, Lyme Regis, within Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. The specimen is specifically associated with the Black Ven Marls, providing useful geological context for collectors interested in Jurassic fossil beds and the sedimentary rocks of the English coastline.

The term “ammonite bed” describes a fossil-bearing layer or piece of sediment containing ammonite material. This makes the item particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate specimens that represent both the fossil itself and the geological matrix in which it was preserved. The Lower Lias is widely recognised for its important fossil record, making this specimen a meaningful addition to a collection focused on British fossils, Jurassic palaeontology or the Jurassic Coast.

Collection and Preparation
