Description
Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil
A genuine Promicroceras calcite ammonite fossil from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, located on the Jurassic Coast at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. This fossil specimen is offered as a distinctive piece of Jurassic geology for collectors, fossil enthusiasts, natural history displays and educational collections.
Locality and Geological Setting
The specimen comes from Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK, a well-known fossil locality on the Jurassic Coast. Its recorded geological setting is the Black Ven Marls, part of the Lower Lias. The Lower Lias belongs to the Jurassic Period and is recognised for its important marine fossil record.
The Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage coastline known for exposed sedimentary rocks and fossil-bearing strata. Around Lyme Regis, coastal geology has provided many important ammonite discoveries. The Black Ven locality is particularly associated with marine Jurassic deposits, making this specimen a meaningful addition to collections focused on British geology, the Jurassic Coast or Lyme Regis fossils.
Fossil Identification
The product identification is Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil. Ammonites were extinct marine members of the cephalopod group, related in a broad biological sense to modern nautiluses, squid and cuttlefish. Their coiled shells and chambered construction make ammonites among the most recognisable fossils in geological collections.
Promicroceras is a Jurassic ammonite name, and its inclusion in the product identification connects this specimen with the diverse ammonite fauna recorded from Lower Jurassic marine rocks. The calcite description forms part of the supplied specimen identification and is retained in the product name for accurate cataloguing.
Collector and Display Use
This fossil is suitable for a Jurassic fossil collection, Lyme Regis and Dorset locality collection, ammonite study display, geology cabinet or natural history presentation. It can also support educational discussion about ammonites, marine ecosystems, sedimentary rocks, fossil preservation and the geological history of the Jurassic Coast.
The Black Ven Marls locality gives the specimen a specific British geological context rather than a generic fossil description. Collectors may appreciate the combination of a named ammonite identification, a recognised Dorset locality and a Lower Lias geological setting.
