Amaltheus laevigatus Fossil Ammonite – Jurassic Germany – Pliensbachian – Genuine with COA – Rare Collector Specimen

£14.40

This listing features a beautifully preserved Amaltheus laevigatus fossil ammonite, collected from the Pliensbachian stage of the Early Jurassic, sourced from Marlostein, Germany. This region is well-known for its well-preserved ammonite fauna and classic marine sedimentary successions.

Amaltheus laevigatus is a representative species of the family Amaltheidae and is characterised by a relatively smooth, discoidal shell with weak ribbing and a slightly involute coiling. Its broad, flat whorls and gently rounded venter give it a distinctively elegant appearance, making it both scientifically and visually appealing.

  • Family: Amaltheidae
  • Geological Stage: Pliensbachian, Early Jurassic
  • Location: Marlostein, Germany

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.
