About Proplanulites Fossil Ammonites:

Proplanulites is an extinct genus of ammonite that thrived during the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 164 million years ago. Ammonites were marine mollusks related to modern-day squids, octopuses, and nautiluses, thriving in prehistoric seas before their extinction.

This fossil originates from the Lower Callovian Stage, specifically from Manor Farm Pit, Oxfordshire, UK, an area known for producing high-quality ammonite specimens. Proplanulites is recognized for its large, robust shell with intricate ribbing and deep, complex suture patterns, indicative of its evolutionary adaptations in Jurassic marine environments.

Fossils like Proplanulites provide valuable insight into ancient marine ecosystems, ammonite diversity, and the evolutionary history of cephalopods. Their distinctive shell morphology and rarity make them highly desirable among collectors and researchers.

Perfect for display, educational purposes, or as a unique gift for fossil lovers and paleontology enthusiasts, this ammonite fossil is a one-of-a-kind addition to any collection.
