£60.00
This scientifically significant Protogrammoceras (Matteiceras) monestieri fossil ammonite is a carefully chosen and professionally prepared specimen from the Lower Pliensbachian stage of the Early Jurassic. Discovered in the region of Bielefeld, Germany, this fossil originates from one of the classic European Jurassic marine strata. You will receive the exact specimen pictured in the listing, and a 1cm scale cube is included for full size reference.
This ammonite is an exceptional example of its genus and subgenus, displaying key morphological features used in biostratigraphic studies of the Early Jurassic period.

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.
