Description
Fossil Identification
This listing is for a Promicroceras marstonense fossil multi block associated with the Marston Magna ammonites of Somerset, UK. The specimen is identified as Marston Marble, from the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, Lower Jurassic. Its geological setting makes it an appealing addition to collections focused on ammonites, Jurassic palaeontology and the fossil record of southern Britain.
The multi-block format presents the fossil material as a natural collector’s specimen connected with the Marston Magna locality. Promicroceras marstonense is a named ammonite fossil, while the associated Marston Marble and Obtusum Zone provide important geological context for its collection and study. This combination of identification, locality and stratigraphic information makes the piece suitable for fossil collectors, geology students, museum-style displays and anyone interested in Lower Jurassic marine life.
Geological Context
The Lower Jurassic forms part of the Jurassic Period and is well known for marine fossil deposits containing ammonites and other remains from ancient seas. The Lower Lias is a significant Lower Jurassic rock succession in Britain, widely recognised for its fossil content. Within this succession, the Obtusum Zone represents a defined biostratigraphic interval used by palaeontologists and geologists to compare and organise Jurassic rocks and fossils.
Marston Magna, in Somerset, is associated with collectible ammonite material and the distinctive Marston Marble. The locality reference adds regional interest to this specimen and places it within the geological heritage of the United Kingdom. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with coiled shells, and their fossilised remains are widely used in Jurassic geology because their evolutionary changes can help correlate rocks of similar age across different areas.
Collector Interest
This Promicroceras marstonense specimen is well suited to a display of British fossils, ammonites, Jurassic geology or stratigraphic specimens. It can also be used as an educational example when discussing fossil identification, geological zones, the Lower Lias and the relationship between fossils and the rocks in which they are found. The locality and zone information provide useful points of reference for collectors who catalogue specimens by identification, formation, stratigraphic interval and place of collection.
