Promicroceras Calcite Ammonite Fossil in Calcite Layered Block Jurassic Coast UK | Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset

Description

PROMICROCERAS CALCITE AMMONITE FOSSIL

This fossil specimen is identified as Promicroceras and is presented as a calcite ammonite fossil in a calcite layered block. Its distinctive combination of ammonite form, calcite material and layered matrix makes it an appealing piece for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts and natural history displays.

GEOLOGICAL LOCALITY

The specimen comes from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, within the Jurassic Coast at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. Black Ven is a recognised fossil-bearing locality on the Jurassic Coast, an area widely associated with important Lower Jurassic geology and fossil discoveries. The locality information gives this specimen a clear geological setting for collection labels, educational displays and study.

AMMONITE FOSSIL INTEREST

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells. Their fossils are valued by collectors because they combine striking spiral morphology with an important role in the study of ancient marine environments and geological time. Promicroceras is the identification supplied for this specimen, making it suitable for anyone building a collection focused on Jurassic fossils, ammonites or material from the Lyme Regis area.

The calcite presentation adds visual interest to the fossil. Calcite is a common mineral in geological specimens and can occur as part of fossil preservation or as mineral material associated with the surrounding rock. Here, the fossil is supplied in a calcite layered block, providing a natural geological context rather than presenting the ammonite as an isolated object.

DISPLAY AND COLLECTION USE

This Promicroceras fossil can be used as a conversation piece in a mineral and fossil collection, a teaching aid for introducing ammonites and Jurassic geology, or an addition to a display centred on the Jurassic Coast. The named locality of Black Ven, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK is especially relevant to collectors interested in British fossil sites and Lower Lias material.

The specimen identification and locality details can be retained with the fossil for future reference. It is also suitable for a labelled cabinet display alongside other ammonites, Jurassic fossils and geological specimens from the Dorset coast.
