Description
Promicroceras marstonense Fossil
This genuine Promicroceras marstonense fossil is presented as a multi-block ammonite specimen from Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. It is identified with the Marston Marble, the Obtusum Zone, the Lower Lias and the Lower Jurassic, making it an appealing addition to fossil collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic geology and British palaeontology.
Geological Identification
The fossil identification is Promicroceras marstonense. The associated geological information places it within the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, part of the Lower Jurassic. The locality is Marston Magna in Somerset, UK, and the material is identified as Marston Marble. These combined details give the specimen clear geological and regional interest for collectors who value named fossils with a documented stratigraphic setting.
Ammonite Collector Interest
Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods known primarily from their coiled shells and extensive fossil record. They are especially important to geology because different ammonite forms can be used in biostratigraphy, helping specialists compare and subdivide layers of sedimentary rock. Promicroceras marstonense provides a more specific collecting focus than an unidentified ammonite, connecting the specimen to a named fossil form, a recognised Jurassic interval and a defined Somerset locality.
The multi-block presentation offers an attractive format for fossil display and makes this piece suitable for collectors building a themed Jurassic cabinet, assembling a British fossil collection or studying Lower Lias ammonites. Its combination of fossil identification, geological zone, formation-level terminology and locality information creates useful educational value as well as visual collector appeal.
Locality and Stratigraphy
Marston Magna, Somerset, is the stated UK locality for this fossil. The specimen is associated with Marston Marble and the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias. The Lower Jurassic setting places it within an important early Jurassic interval of Earth history, when marine environments supported diverse ammonite faunas. This stratigraphic information can help place the specimen within a wider geological display alongside other Jurassic fossils.
Display and Sizing
This fossil multi-block is suitable for display in a home collection, classroom, study, museum-style cabinet or geology-themed interior. Full sizing is shown in the photographs. The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive.
Authenticity
This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.
The certificate and locality information make this an engaging choice for fossil enthusiasts, ammonite collectors, geology students and anyone interested in Lower Jurassic palaeontology. The named identification, Marston Magna locality and Obtusum Zone association provide a strong foundation for cataloguing and displaying the specimen as part of a focused British Jurassic collection.
