Description

Promicroceras marstonense Fossil

This fossil specimen is identified as Promicroceras marstonense and is presented as a multi-block ammonite fossil from Marston Marble. It is a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, geological display, or educational study collection, with identification placing it within the ammonites of the Lower Jurassic.

Geological Identification

The specimen is associated with the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, within the Lower Jurassic. Its stated locality is Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. The combination of Promicroceras marstonense, Marston Marble, the Obtusum Zone and the Lower Lias gives this fossil useful geological context for collectors interested in British Jurassic palaeontology and the ammonite-bearing rocks of Somerset.

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils in the geological record. Because ammonites evolved rapidly and were distributed across marine environments, particular forms can be valuable for comparing rock sequences and identifying geological zones. The Obtusum Zone is part of the Lower Jurassic succession and provides an important framework for studying fossils from this interval.

Collector and Display Interest

This Promicroceras marstonense multi block is suited to collectors of ammonites, Lower Jurassic fossils, British fossils and Somerset geological specimens. It can be displayed as part of a themed collection focused on the Lower Lias, Jurassic marine life, ammonite diversity or the geology of the United Kingdom. The multi-block format also makes it an interesting specimen for examining the relationship between fossil material and its surrounding geological matrix, while retaining the character of a collected geological specimen.

The stated identification and geological information make this piece suitable for fossil enthusiasts who appreciate specimens with a defined zone and locality. It may also be used as a teaching aid when discussing ammonite evolution, Jurassic marine ecosystems, biostratigraphy and the role of fossils in understanding Earth history.

Locality and Geological Context

This fossil is associated with Marston Magna, Somerset, UK, and identified with Marston Marble. It is further linked to the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, Lower Jurassic. These details provide a focused British geological setting for the specimen and help place it within the wider study of Jurassic ammonites and stratigraphic zones.
