Description
Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil
This genuine fossil specimen is identified as Promicroceras, a calcite ammonite fossil presented with a cut base. Its distinctive fossil form makes it an appealing addition to a collection of ammonites, Jurassic fossils, British fossils or geological specimens. The cut base allows the specimen to be displayed securely and clearly, making it suitable for a fossil cabinet, study collection, office, home display or educational setting.
Geological Location and Identification
The specimen is associated with the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias on the Jurassic Coast. The stated collection location is Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, LYME REGIS, Dorset, UK. This part of the Jurassic Coast is well known among fossil collectors for its rich geological exposures and fossil-bearing strata. The Lower Lias provides important context for understanding Jurassic marine life and the ammonites preserved within these rocks.
Ammonites were extinct marine molluscs with coiled shells. Their fossilised forms are valued for their spiral morphology, natural mineral detail and connection with ancient marine environments. Promicroceras specimens are especially interesting to collectors because they represent a named ammonite type from the Jurassic fossil record. The calcite presentation highlights the mineralised fossil material and gives the specimen a strong visual contrast against the surrounding stone.
Specimen Presentation
The cut base is an integral feature of this fossil, providing a stable flat surface for upright display. It also helps present the ammonite clearly when viewed from the front, while allowing the natural character of the surrounding matrix and prepared fossil surface to remain part of the display. This is a collectible geological specimen rather than a mass-produced decorative replica.
The specimen has been cleaned, prepared and treated for presentation. Its combination of a named ammonite identification, Jurassic Coast association, Black Ven Marls context and cut-base display makes it suitable for collectors interested in ammonites, palaeontology, Dorset fossils and the geology of the Lower Lias.
