Description
Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil
This genuine Promicroceras calcite ammonite fossil is a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, geological display or natural history cabinet. The specimen is identified as Promicroceras and is associated with the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast, at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK.
Fossil Identification
Promicroceras is an ammonite genus. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are widely valued for their importance in studying ancient marine environments and Jurassic geology. The supplied identification of Promicroceras makes this specimen particularly appealing to collectors seeking an ammonite with a named genus rather than an unspecified fossil.
The calcite character stated in the product name gives this specimen added mineralogical interest. Its combination of ammonite identity and calcite presentation makes it suitable for enthusiasts interested in palaeontology, fossil collecting, mineral specimens and the geological history of southern England.
Geological Locality
This specimen comes from the Black Ven Marls, part of the Lower Lias exposed along the Jurassic Coast at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. The Lyme Regis area is internationally recognised for its rich Jurassic fossil record and is one of the best-known fossil collecting regions in Britain. The Lower Lias contains important marine fossil beds, reflecting ancient conditions in which organisms lived in a sea environment and were later preserved within sedimentary rocks.
Black Ven is especially well known among fossil collectors and palaeontology enthusiasts. A specimen connected with this locality provides a direct link to the geological heritage of the Dorset coast and the classic fossil-bearing strata of the Lyme Regis area. It can be displayed as a locality-specific ammonite fossil or used as an educational example when discussing Jurassic marine life, ammonites and the fossil geology of the English Channel region.
Collection and Preparation
Your specimen was discovered by our own team members, Alister and Alison and has been cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison.
The specimen is supplied as a prepared collector’s item, making it ready for examination and display. Its named identification, geological locality and preparation history provide useful information for personal cataloguing, educational use or presentation alongside other fossils from the Jurassic Coast.
Certificate of Authenticity
This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.
The included certificate wording provides documentation that the item is a genuine fossil specimen. Please retain the certificate with the fossil for collection records, display information and future reference.
Collector and Display Uses
This Promicroceras calcite ammonite fossil is well suited to fossil collectors, students of geology, natural history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the Jurassic Coast. It can be incorporated into a themed collection of ammonites, British fossils, Lyme Regis specimens or Jurassic geological material. It also makes an informative gift for collectors who appreciate named fossil genera and specimens associated with historically important collecting localities.
The specimen may be displayed in a fossil cabinet, geological study area, classroom collection or natural history-themed interior. The combination of Promicroceras identification, calcite character, Black Ven locality and Lower Lias association gives it several useful points of interest for close observation and educational discussion.
