Description
Promicroceras marstonense Fossil
This genuine fossil multi-block features Promicroceras marstonense, a named ammonite from Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. The specimen is associated with the Marston Marble and the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, placing it within the Lower Jurassic. Its combination of a specific fossil identification, recognised geological zone and Somerset locality makes it an appealing addition to collections focused on ammonites, British fossils and Jurassic palaeontology.
Geological Setting
The Lower Lias is a Lower Jurassic geological succession known for fossil-bearing marine rocks and abundant ammonite material. Ammonites were extinct marine molluscs with coiled shells, and their fossils are especially valued because ammonite forms can be used to help compare and subdivide Jurassic rocks. The Obtusum Zone is a recognised biostratigraphic interval within the Lower Lias.
Marston Magna in Somerset is associated with the Marston Marble, a historic fossil-bearing stone known among collectors for its distinctive Jurassic content. This specimen is identified as Promicroceras marstonense and is offered as a multi-block fossil, providing a natural display piece for collectors interested in the geology of southern Britain and the fossil record of the Lower Jurassic.
Collector and Display Appeal
This Promicroceras marstonense fossil is suitable for an ammonite collection, British geological collection, classroom display, museum-style cabinet or educational palaeontology presentation. The named identification and geological information offer useful context for studying Jurassic marine life, fossil succession and the use of ammonites in biostratigraphy.
The multi-block format gives the piece a substantial specimen presence while retaining its connection to the original geological material. It can be displayed alongside other Lower Jurassic fossils, British ammonites or specimens from different geological zones to illustrate changes through geological time. Its Marston Magna locality also gives it clear regional interest for collectors of Somerset fossils and UK geological specimens.
