Description
Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil
A distinctive fossil specimen identified as Promicroceras, presented as a calcite ammonite fossil from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias. The recorded locality is Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, within the famous Jurassic Coast. This fossil is offered as a genuine geological specimen for collectors, fossil enthusiasts, natural history displays and educational collections.
Fossil Identification
Promicroceras is an ammonite, belonging to an extinct group of marine cephalopods known for their coiled shells and excellent value in geological study. Ammonites are widely appreciated by collectors because their shells can preserve the changing structure, ornamentation and chambered form of these ancient marine animals. The supplied identification for this specimen is Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil.
The calcite description refers to the mineral form in which this fossil specimen is presented. Calcite is a common mineral in fossil preservation and can produce attractive detail and contrast in ammonite material. The fossil is suitable for anyone interested in ammonites, Jurassic fossils, Dorset geology or the natural history of the Jurassic Coast.
Locality and Geological Setting
This specimen is recorded from the Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias, at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. Lyme Regis is one of the most recognised fossil localities on the Jurassic Coast, an internationally known stretch of coastline valued for its exposed geological formations and fossil discoveries. The Black Ven locality is especially associated with marine fossils, making it a relevant setting for an ammonite specimen.
The Lower Lias forms part of the Jurassic geological record. Ammonites from this type of marine deposit are important to collectors and researchers because ammonite forms can help illustrate changes in ancient marine life and the succession of geological strata. This specimen provides a tangible connection to the geology of Dorset and the fossil-rich coastline around Lyme Regis.
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 collector’s fossil with its locality information, identification and geological context.
