Aspidoceras binodum Fossil Ammonite – Lower Kimmeridgian, Jurassic – Bottingen, Germany – From Alice Purnell Collection

Original price was: JPY ¥5270.00.Current price is: JPY ¥4216.00.

For sale is a superb Aspidoceras binodum fossil ammonite, originating from the Lower Kimmeridgian Stage of the Late Jurassic Period (approximately 157 to 152 million years ago). This specimen was found in Bottingen, Germany, a locality celebrated for its exceptional Jurassic marine fossil preservation.

Aspidoceras is a genus of ammonites well known for their broad, thick shells with distinctive ribbing and nodose (knobby) ornamentation. The species binodum is particularly noted for its pronounced double tubercles (“bi-nodum”) on the whorls of its shell, which would have made it an impressive sight in Jurassic seas.

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.
