Description
Promicroceras marstonense Fossil
This genuine fossil specimen features Promicroceras marstonense, an ammonite identification associated with Marston Magna in Somerset, UK. The specimen is presented as a multi-block fossil, making it an appealing addition to collections focused on ammonites, Lower Jurassic palaeontology and British geological material.
Geological Identification
The specimen is identified as Marston Marble, from the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, Lower Jurassic. These geological terms provide important context for collectors and students interested in the stratigraphic record of the Jurassic period. The Lower Lias is a significant Lower Jurassic geological unit, while the Obtusum Zone represents a recognised ammonite biozone used in Jurassic biostratigraphy.
Promicroceras marstonense belongs to the ammonites, an extinct group of marine cephalopods that are widely used by palaeontologists for dating and correlating sedimentary rocks. Ammonites are especially valuable in geological collections because their occurrences can help demonstrate changes in marine environments and the succession of Jurassic strata through time.
Marston Magna and Marston Marble
This fossil is associated with Marston Magna, Somerset, UK, and the Marston Marble geological material. Its British location and Lower Jurassic identification give it particular interest for collectors of UK fossils, Somerset geology and ammonites from historically important Jurassic strata. The combination of the named fossil, geological material and Obtusum Zone makes this specimen suitable for display, educational collections and natural history study.
Collector and Display Interest
The multi-block format offers a distinctive presentation for a fossil cabinet, geological display or educational collection. It can be used to introduce the study of ammonites, Jurassic marine life, stratigraphy and fossil zones. Promicroceras marstonense is also a useful search term for collectors looking for specifically identified Lower Jurassic ammonite fossils rather than an unnamed ammonite specimen.
