This fossil specimen is identified as Promicroceras marstonense and is presented as a multi-block ammonite fossil from Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. It is an attractive choice for fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, palaeontology displays and anyone interested in the ammonites of the Lower Jurassic.
Geological Identification
The specimen is associated with Marston Marble and comes from the Obtusum Zone of the Lower Lias, within the Lower Jurassic. These geological details place the fossil within an important interval of Jurassic marine history, when ammonites were widespread and commonly preserved in sedimentary rocks. The name Promicroceras marstonense provides the specific identification supplied for this specimen.
Ammonites are extinct marine cephalopods known for their coiled shells and long geological record. They are especially valued by collectors because their fossils can provide insight into Jurassic marine environments, biostratigraphy and the changing distribution of life through geological time. The Obtusum Zone is a recognised biostratigraphic interval within the Lower Lias, making this specimen particularly relevant to collectors who focus on Jurassic ammonites and zonal fossils.
Locality and Collector Interest
The stated locality is Marston Magna, Somerset, UK. Marston Magna material is of interest to collectors studying British Jurassic geology and the fossil-bearing rocks of southern England. The reference to Marston Marble and the Obtusum Zone adds useful geological context for display labels, educational collections and research-led fossil cabinets.
This multi-block format can make an effective centrepiece for a fossil display, while also fitting naturally into collections organised by geological period, locality, ammonite group or biostratigraphic zone. It is suitable for fossil collectors, students, teachers, museum-style displays and enthusiasts developing a focused Lower Jurassic collection.
