Promicroceras marstonense Fossil
This genuine Promicroceras marstonense fossil is presented as a sliced, high-grade polished slab from Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. The specimen is identified as a Marston Magna ammonite and is associated with the Marston Marble, the Obtusum Zone, the Lower Lias and the Lower Jurassic. Its polished presentation makes the fossil suitable for collectors who appreciate both scientifically identified material and attractive geological display pieces.
Geological Identification
Promicroceras marstonense is an ammonite fossil from the Lower Jurassic. It is associated with the Obtusum Zone within the Lower Lias, providing a useful stratigraphic context for geological study and fossil collecting. The Marston Marble is a recognised fossil-bearing geological material from the Marston Magna area of Somerset, making this specimen of interest to collectors focused on British Jurassic fossils, ammonites and regional geology.
Ammonite fossils are particularly valued because their coiled shells can provide a visible connection between palaeontology and stratigraphy. Jurassic ammonites are frequently used by collectors and students to explore the succession of marine rocks and the changing distribution of fossil organisms through geological time. The named zone and Lower Jurassic context give this specimen added educational relevance beyond its decorative polished finish.
Specimen Presentation
This fossil has been sliced and polished to create a clear display surface while retaining the character of the geological material. The polished slab format is well suited to a fossil cabinet, study collection, geology room, educational display or Jurassic-themed interior. The specimen can also appeal to collectors of Somerset fossils, British ammonites, Lower Lias material and stratigraphically documented geological specimens.
The locality associated with this fossil is Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. The regional setting connects the specimen with the rich Jurassic geology of southern Britain and gives it a specific collecting context for comparison with other British ammonite material. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.

These natural features contribute to the individuality of a genuine fossil and are part of its appeal to collectors.
Collector and Display Use
This Promicroceras marstonense slab is a suitable addition to collections of ammonites, Lower Jurassic fossils, Lower Lias specimens, Somerset geology and British palaeontology. It can be displayed horizontally or vertically according to the collector’s preferred arrangement and works well alongside other stratigraphically identified fossils. Its combination of a named fossil identification, Marston Magna locality, Obtusum Zone association and polished slab presentation makes it a practical choice for both educational and decorative collecting.
