These beautiful ammonites are preserved in dark, fine-grained limestone, part of the Obtusum Zone in the Lower Lias, dating to the Lower Jurassic (~195–200 million years ago).

Promicroceras marstonense is one of the most characteristic and sought-after ammonites from this region, known for its compact size, detailed ribbing, and aesthetic arrangement in dense fossiliferous layers. The slab has been expertly cut and polished to reveal the structure, colour contrast, and detail of the ammonites embedded within the matrix.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
