Geology and Fossil Type

  • Geological Stage: Kimmeridgian, Jurassic
  • Depositional Environment: Marine (During the Kimmeridgian, Madagascar was submerged in shallow seas, creating ideal conditions for ammonites to thrive and later be preserved in marine sediments.)
  • Family: Aspidoceratidae (A family of ammonites known for their large, coiled shells and distinctive features)
  • Superfamily: Ammonitoidea
  • Order: Ammonitida (Ammonites belong to the Cephalopoda class, closely related to modern squid and octopus)

Morphology Features

The Aspidoceras rogozniziensem ammonite features a tight spiral shell with smooth, well-defined ribs and clear suture lines. The coiled shape of the shell is a hallmark of the species, with fine preservation that allows for the study of its internal structure. The ribbing on the outer surface of the shell, combined with the smoothness of the spiral, gives the fossil a unique appearance, making it a prized specimen for fossil collectors.

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.
