Description
Promicroceras marstonense Fossil
This fossil specimen is identified as Promicroceras marstonense and presented as a Marston Magna ammonites multi block. It is associated with Marston Marble, the Obtusum Zone, the Lower Lias and the Lower Jurassic. The named material and geological terminology make this an appealing addition for fossil collectors, ammonite enthusiasts, geology students and anyone interested in the Jurassic history of the United Kingdom.
Locality and Geological Context
The specimen is associated with Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. Marston Magna is also reflected in the product identification, connecting the fossil with a recognised Somerset locality. The supplied geological information places it within the Lower Lias, a term used for Lower Jurassic strata, and the Obtusum Zone. These details provide useful context for cataloguing and displaying the specimen within a collection.
Marston Marble and Ammonite Interest
The identification includes Marston Marble, a distinctive geological name connected with the supplied specimen. The multi-block format gives the piece an especially interesting presentation for collectors who enjoy grouped fossil material and locality-based specimens. Promicroceras marstonense is the specific fossil name supplied for this item, while ammonites provide the broader collector category.
Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods and are widely valued in palaeontology because their distribution through geological strata can help demonstrate changes through geological time. Their fossil record is also important for understanding Jurassic marine environments and for comparing material from different stratigraphic zones. The Obtusum Zone designation adds a biostratigraphic dimension to the specimen’s identification and makes it suitable for educational displays focused on Jurassic geology, ammonite classification and stratigraphy.
Display and Collection Use
This fossil can be displayed as a geological specimen, added to an ammonite collection or used as an educational example of Lower Jurassic material associated with Somerset. The locality, geological stage, zone and named identification can be recorded alongside the specimen to create an informative cabinet label or collection entry. Its multi-block presentation is well suited to collectors who prefer specimens with clear geological and regional context.
