Geological & Scientific Information:

  • Fossil Type: Ammonite (large, complete shell)
  • Species: Euhoploceras mayeri
  • Order: Ammonitida
  • Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
  • Family: Graphoceratidae
  • Geological Stage: Middle Bajocian (approx. 168.3 – 166.1 million years ago)
  • Period: Jurassic
  • Locality: Nenningen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
  • Depositional Environment: Shallow marine basin; marl and limestone deposition within a low-energy epicontinental sea

 

Morphology & Notable Features:

  • Distinctive strong ribbing typical of Euhoploceras
  • Ribs bifurcate near the umbilical shoulder and continue evenly across the flanks and venter
  • Compressed whorl section with moderate to high involution
  • Some suture lines may be visible depending on preservation quality
  • The overall appearance is both robust and finely detailed — a display-worthy piece

 

Scientific Significance: Euhoploceras mayeri is a less commonly encountered ammonite species from the Middle Bajocian, making it a rare and scientifically relevant find. As a member of the Graphoceratidae family, it helps define key biozones used in Jurassic marine stratigraphy throughout central Europe. Fossils like this one aid in correlating marine sedimentary layers across Germany, France, and the UK.

Formally described by 19th-century paleontologists during the golden era of Jurassic ammonite taxonomy, E. mayeri remains an important index fossil in Bajocian studies.

 

Ideal for:

  • European Jurassic fossil collections
  • Stratigraphic or biostratigraphic study
  • Museum-quality display or educational collections

 

What You Will Receive:

  • The exact Euhoploceras mayeri fossil shown

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.
