Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil Double Black Ven Marls Lower Lias UK

Description

Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil

A distinctive fossil specimen identified as a Promicroceras calcite ammonite fossil in a double format. This collectible comes from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias on the Jurassic Coast at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. Its named geological setting connects it with one of Britain’s best-known fossil-collecting regions and makes it an appealing addition to an ammonite, Jurassic fossil or natural history collection.

Geological Location

The Black Ven Marls are associated with the Lower Lias exposed around Black Ven near Lyme Regis. The Lower Lias belongs to the Early Jurassic, a geological interval renowned for marine sedimentary rocks and fossil remains. The Jurassic Coast stretches along the Dorset and East Devon coastline and is internationally recognised for its accessible geological record, coastal cliffs and fossil-bearing strata.

The locality at Black Ven is especially associated with the fossil-rich coastal geology around Lyme Regis. Marls are sedimentary rocks containing a mixture of clay minerals and carbonate material, and such fine-grained deposits can preserve marine fossils within clearly defined geological layers. The supplied locality information places this fossil specifically within the Black Ven Marls, Lower Lias sequence rather than assigning it to a broader, unspecified Jurassic source.

Ammonite Identification

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern nautiluses, squids and cuttlefish. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils from the Mesozoic Era and are widely collected for their scientific, educational and decorative appeal. Promicroceras is the identification supplied for this ammonite fossil. The product name also identifies the specimen as calcite, a carbonate mineral commonly encountered in geological collections.

The double format gives this listing a particular place within an ammonite collection, whether displayed as part of a Jurassic Coast locality group, used for teaching geological history or kept as a representative fossil from the Lyme Regis area. The Black Ven Marls locality provides important context for displaying the specimen alongside other Lower Lias fossils and Jurassic geological material.

Collection and Display

This fossil is suited to collectors who value named localities, British geology and identifiable Jurassic material. It can be incorporated into a fossil cabinet, educational display, geology study collection or natural history themed interior. The combination of the Promicroceras identification, calcite designation, double format and Black Ven Marls locality gives the piece a clear collecting narrative without relying on an unrecorded species, formation or measurement.
