Description
Promicroceras Golden Pyrite Ammonite Fossils
This multi-nodule fossil group features Promicroceras ammonite material with a distinctive golden pyrite character. The fossil identification and locality information make it an appealing choice for fossil collectors, Jurassic geology enthusiasts, educational displays and natural history collections. Its combination of ammonite subject matter, pyrite colouring and Dorset provenance gives it strong visual and geological interest.
Geological Locality and Formation
The specimens are associated with the Black Ven Marls of the Lower Lias, from Black Ven near Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK. Black Ven is a well-known fossil locality on the Jurassic Coast, an internationally recognised stretch of coastline noted for its exposed geological strata and fossil-bearing rocks. The Lower Lias represents Jurassic geology, making this material particularly relevant to collectors interested in ammonites and the stratigraphy of southern Britain.
Fossil Identification
Promicroceras is an ammonite genus. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their coiled shells and varied ribbing patterns have made them among the most recognisable fossils in geology and popular fossil collecting. Promicroceras specimens are valued for their connection to Jurassic marine environments and for the information ammonites provide about ancient seas, evolutionary change and geological time.
The product name identifies this as golden pyrite ammonite material presented as multiple nodules. Pyrite is widely recognised by its metallic golden appearance, which can create an attractive contrast with darker fossil-bearing material. The exact visual character of each nodule may vary naturally, as fossil and mineral specimens are individual geological objects rather than manufactured reproductions.
Collector and Display Interest
This fossil group offers several points of interest in one presentation: the Promicroceras identification, the golden pyrite feature, the multi-nodule format and the named Black Ven locality. It is suitable for a dedicated ammonite collection, a Jurassic fossil display, a geology cabinet or an educational setting focused on the Jurassic Coast and British fossil localities. The locality and formation details also make it useful for collectors who catalogue specimens according to geological formation and place of origin.
The Black Ven Marls and Lower Lias association connects the specimen to the fossil-rich coastal geology around Lyme Regis. For collectors, that named geological context adds meaning beyond the fossil form itself, helping place the material within the wider study of Jurassic rocks and marine life.
