Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil Black Ven Marls Lower Lias Jurassic Coast

Description

Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil

This fossil specimen is identified as Promicroceras and is presented as a calcite ammonite fossil from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast, Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. Its combination of a named ammonite identification and a documented Jurassic Coast setting makes it a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, geological display or natural history study.

Identification and Fossil Interest

Promicroceras is an ammonite genus. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern nautiluses, squid and cuttlefish. Their coiled shells are among the best-known fossils associated with the Jurassic Period, and they are widely studied for their value in understanding ancient marine environments and geological succession.

The name Promicroceras gives this specimen a more specific collecting interest than an unidentified ammonite. It connects the fossil with a recognised ammonite genus and provides a useful focus for collectors who organise specimens by fossil group, geological setting or taxonomic identification. The calcite designation describes the material associated with this fossil specimen as supplied.

Geological Location

The stated locality is Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, within the Jurassic Coast. Black Ven is associated with the Lower Lias, a Jurassic geological succession exposed along the Dorset coast. The Jurassic Coast is internationally recognised for its important coastal geology and fossil record, making specimens connected with this area especially appealing to collectors interested in British palaeontology and stratigraphy.

The locality information supplied for this specimen is: Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias, Jurassic Coast: Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. This provides a clear geographical and geological context for display labels, collection records and educational use.

Collector and Display Appeal

A Promicroceras ammonite fossil can be displayed as an example of Jurassic marine life and the fossil record of southern England. It may complement collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic fossils, British geology, the Jurassic Coast or the fossil-bearing strata around Lyme Regis. The named genus and locality also make it suitable for a cabinet display, teaching collection or personal study of fossil cephalopods.

For presentation, the specimen can be accompanied by a label noting its identification, calcite description and Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias locality. Collectors may also wish to record the Jurassic Coast setting and Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, as part of their catalogue information.
