Description
Promicroceras marstonense Fossil
This multi-block fossil specimen features Promicroceras marstonense ammonites from Marston Magna in Somerset, UK. It is identified as Marston Marble from the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, a Lower Jurassic geological unit. The specimen is a distinctive addition to a fossil collection and is well suited to collectors interested in Jurassic palaeontology, British geology and ammonite fossils.
Geological Identification
The supplied identification is Promicroceras marstonense. The associated geological information identifies the material as Marston Marble, within the Obtusum Zone and Lower Lias of the Lower Jurassic. Marston Magna, Somerset, is the stated UK location associated with this fossil. These details make the piece particularly relevant to collectors who catalogue fossils by taxon, geological stage, zone and locality.
Ammonite Fossil Interest
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossils are widely valued for their role in studying ancient marine environments and geological succession. Because ammonites can be used as biostratigraphic indicators, named zones such as the Obtusum Zone are important to geological collectors and students. Promicroceras marstonense represents a specific ammonite identification rather than an unidentified shell fragment, giving this specimen strong educational and display interest.
Marston Marble and Lower Jurassic Context
Marston Marble is the stated geological material for this specimen, and the fossil is associated with the Lower Lias. The Lower Jurassic is an important interval in Earth history, preserving marine fossil assemblages from a time when much of Britain was covered by shallow seas. The combination of a named ammonite, a defined biostratigraphic zone and a Somerset locality provides useful context for fossil display, collection labelling and geological study.
Display and Collection Use
The multi-block format offers an attractive presentation for a fossil cabinet, geology classroom, study collection or natural history display. It can be paired with other Jurassic ammonites or arranged as part of a British fossil locality collection. The stated identification and geological context can also be used for educational labels, museum-style displays and personal collection records.
