This Echioceras aeneatum ammonite fossil is a rare specimen from the Sinemurian stage of the Jurassic period. It was discovered in the POL Region, Ukraine, an area known for its exceptional fossil deposits from the Early Jurassic period. The ammonite is well-preserved and showcases distinctive characteristics of this species, making it a valuable addition to any fossil collection or natural history display.

Species and Morphology Information:

• Species: Echioceras aeneatum
• Geological Age: Sinemurian, Jurassic (~199 million years ago)
• Depositional Environment: This ammonite fossil was deposited in marine environments during the Sinemurian period when the earth’s oceans teemed with marine life. The POL region in Ukraine was part of the Tethys Ocean, which had a rich marine ecosystem that favored the development of ammonoid species like Echioceras aeneatum.
• Morphology Features: Echioceras aeneatum exhibits a distinctive spiral shell, with fine ribbing that enhances its aesthetic appeal. The shell is typically moderately involute with well-defined ventral and lateral ribs, giving it a classic ammonoid appearance.
• Notable Features: This fossil ammonite is exceptionally preserved with a clear pattern of ribbing and an impressive size. The fossil exhibits the well-known characteristics of Echioceras, making it a valuable specimen for both scientific study and collection.
• Family: Ammonitidae
• Superfamily: Ammonoidea
• Order: Ammonitida
• Depositional Environment: The ammonite lived in the shallow marine waters of the Tethys Ocean, an environment rich with ammonoid species during the Sinemurian period. The conditions of this Jurassic ocean favored the thriving of ammonites, leaving behind these exceptional fossils.
