Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
  • Genus: Physodoceras (species not specified)
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Perisphinctoidea
  • Family: Aspidoceratidae

Geological Context:

  • Period: Jurassic
  • Epoch/Stage: Upper Jurassic – Lower Kimmeridgian (approx. 157.3 to 154.8 million years ago)
  • Biozone: Typically associated with Platynota Zone ammonite faunas, important in Kimmeridgian stratigraphy
  • Formation: Kimmeridgian limestone and marl successions of western France
  • Depositional Environment: Shallow marine shelf with carbonate-rich sediments, highly favourable for ammonite preservation

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
