The fossil was formed in sedimentary deposits created in these ancient marine environments, particularly in the Middle Jurassic waters of what is now Germany.
Biozone: This fossil comes from a Middle Callovian biozone, a time known for an abundance of ammonite species, making it an important period in marine life evolution.
Fossil Features:
Family: Hecticoceratidae
Super Family: Hecticoceratoidea
Order: Ammonitida
Morphology: The Hecticoceras (Putealiceras) frederici ammonite features a coiled, compressed shell with fine ribbing along the surface.

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.
