Ptychophylloceras sp. Fossil Ammonite – Kimmeridgian, Jurassic – Lauterhofen, Germany

About the Fossil:

This beautifully preserved Ptychophylloceras sp. ammonite fossil comes from the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic (~157-152 million years ago) and was discovered in Lauterhofen, Germany. Ptychophylloceras belongs to the phylloceratid ammonites, a group recognized for their highly involute, smooth shells adorned with intricate, finely lobed suture patterns. Unlike ribbed ammonites, phylloceratids have a streamlined shell, suggesting they were strong swimmers in deeper marine environments rather than shallow coastal waters.

During the Late Jurassic, ammonites like Ptychophylloceras sp. thrived in warm, tropical marine ecosystems, where they played an essential role in the ancient ocean food chain. The Kimmeridgian-aged deposits of Lauterhofen, Germany, are renowned for their well-preserved ammonite specimens, providing paleontologists and collectors with crucial insights into Jurassic cephalopod diversity.

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.
