Description

Pleuroceras spinatum Ammonite Fossil

This fossil is identified as Pleuroceras spinatum, an ammonite from the Lower Lias Formation of the Jurassic. The stated locality is Unterstürmig, Germany, making this a noteworthy addition for collectors interested in European Jurassic fossils, ammonites, and historically important geological material.

Fossil Identification and Geological Context

Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with chambered shells, related in a broad zoological sense to modern squid, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. Their coiled shells and regularly divided chambers made them especially valuable to palaeontologists for studying Jurassic rocks and correlating sedimentary layers. Pleuroceras spinatum belongs to the ammonite fossil record of the Jurassic and is presented here with the supplied identification of the Lower Lias Formation.

The Lower Lias represents an important interval within Jurassic geology and is well known among fossil collectors for marine invertebrate fossils. Ammonites from Jurassic formations are valued not only for their natural history but also for their role in understanding ancient marine environments, changing sea levels, and the succession of life through geological time. This specimen offers an opportunity to own a fossil associated with that important period of Earth history.

Locality

The specimen is associated with Unterstürmig, Germany. German Jurassic fossils are popular with both beginner and experienced collectors because they connect a specific European locality with the wider ammonite record. The locality information is an important part of the specimen’s geological appeal and provides useful context for display, cataloguing, and educational study.

Collector and Display Appeal

This Pleuroceras spinatum ammonite is suitable for fossil collections, geology displays, palaeontology teaching collections, and natural-history décor. It can be displayed as an example of Jurassic ammonite diversity or used as a conversation piece for anyone interested in extinct marine life, stratigraphy, and the geological history of Germany.
