About Pleuroceras spinatum Fossil Ammonites:

Pleuroceras spinatum is an extinct species of ammonite that thrived during the Early Jurassic period, approximately 180 million years ago. Ammonites were marine mollusks related to modern-day squids, octopuses, and nautiluses, thriving in prehistoric seas before their extinction.

This fossil originates from the Upper Toarcian Stage, specifically from Buttenheim, Germany, an area known for producing high-quality ammonite specimens. Pleuroceras is recognized for its thick, heavily ribbed shell with a distinct keeled edge, often exhibiting beautiful mineralization and internal structures when polished.

Fossils like Pleuroceras spinatum provide valuable insight into ancient marine environments, ammonite diversity, and evolutionary adaptations. Their distinctive shells and role as index fossils make them highly desirable among collectors and researchers.

Perfect for display, educational purposes, or as a unique gift for fossil lovers and paleontology enthusiasts, this ammonite fossil is a one-of-a-kind addition to any collection.

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.
