About Promicroceras planicosta

As extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid and cuttlefish, they thrived in shallow Jurassic seas over 190 million years ago. Their fossils are widely sought after due to their beautifully preserved intricate details and scientific importance in studying Jurassic marine ecosystems.
