Description
Promicroceras Fossil Ammonite Pebble
This fossil specimen is identified as Promicroceras and is described as a fossil ammonite pebble. It comes from the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, part of the Jurassic Coast near Stonebarrow Cliff, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. The combination of a named ammonite fossil and a recognised Jurassic Coast locality makes this an appealing addition to fossil collections, geology displays and natural history cabinets.
Geological Locality
The stated collecting location is Stonebarrow Cliff at Charmouth, within the Lyme Regis area of Dorset. The specimen is associated with the Black Ven Marls and the Lower Lias. The Jurassic Coast is widely valued for its exposed sequence of sedimentary rocks and its importance to palaeontology and Earth science. Its coastal cliffs and foreshore have produced a wide range of fossil material, making the area especially familiar to collectors and students of Jurassic geology.
About Ammonite Fossils
Ammonites were extinct marine molluscs with chambered shells. Their typically coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in the geological record, and ammonites are widely studied for their value in biostratigraphy, the use of fossils to compare and understand rock layers. Promicroceras is the supplied identification for this specimen. The Lower Lias context places it within the Jurassic geological record, a period noted for abundant marine fossil remains in suitable sedimentary environments.
Collector and Display Interest
This Promicroceras fossil ammonite pebble offers several points of interest for collectors. It has a specific fossil identification, a named geological unit and a documented Jurassic Coast location rather than being described only as a general ammonite. The locality information provides useful context for a display label, educational collection or geology-themed interior arrangement. It can also complement collections focused on Jurassic fossils, Dorset specimens, British geology or ammonites.
The specimen is suitable for fossil enthusiasts, students, educators and anyone interested in the geological history of the Dorset coast. Its locality details can be displayed alongside the specimen to show the connection between the fossil, the Black Ven Marls, the Lower Lias and Stonebarrow Cliff near Charmouth and Lyme Regis.
