Geology & Fossil Type:
This ammonite originates from the Lower Kimmeridgian, a stage within the Late Jurassic, dating back approximately 152-157 million years. The Kimmeridgian seas covered much of what is now Eurasia, providing an abundant habitat for ammonites. These fossils are particularly valuable for biostratigraphic dating, allowing geologists to correlate Jurassic rock formations worldwide.
Torquatisphinctes torquatus belonged to the subclass Ammonoidea, an extinct group of marine mollusks closely related to modern squids and octopuses. Ammonites were active swimmers, using their chambered shells for buoyancy control to move efficiently through prehistoric seas. Their ribbed shells provided protection against predators and reinforced their structural integrity.
