RARE Ceratites Nodosus Fossil Ammonite – Middle Triassic, Pfersdorf, Germany – 100% Genuine with Certificate of Authenticity
£36.00
This Ceratites nodosus fossil ammonite is an exceptional specimen from the Middle Triassic period, discovered in Pfersdorf, Germany. The Ceratites genus is known for its distinctively coiled shell and well-defined ribs, making it a remarkable fossil from this time. This ammonite offers valuable insights into the marine life that thrived during the Triassic period and is a rare find for collectors and paleontologists alike.
Geological Information:
Geological Stage: Middle Triassic (Approximately 247 to 237 million years ago)
Depositional Environment: The Middle Triassic marked a time of recovery for the planet following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction. The Pfersdorf region in Germany was once covered by shallow seas, which allowed for the preservation of marine life, including ammonites like Ceratites. Fossils from this region provide a fascinating glimpse into the marine ecosystems of the Triassic period, showcasing the diversity of life during a time of global ecological recovery.
Biozone: Fossils from the Middle Triassic biozone are essential for understanding the recovery and diversification of marine life. The Ceratites genus was prominent during this period, and this fossil serves as an excellent example of Triassic ammonite evolution.
Fossil Features:
Family: Ceratitidae
Super Family: Ammonoidea
Order: Ammonitida
Morphology: The Ceratites nodosus ammonite is characterized by its distinctive coiling with strong ribbing and a moderately evolved structure.

Triassic Information
The Triassic Period (252–201 million years ago) marked the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, the most severe extinction event in Earth's history. The climate was hot and dry, with vast deserts and little polar ice. Life slowly recovered, leading to the rise of the first dinosaurs, pterosaurs (flying reptiles), and early mammals. Reptiles, including large archosaurs (ancestors of crocodiles and dinosaurs), dominated both land and sea. In the oceans, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs thrived alongside ammonites and early coral reefs. The first true conifers and ginkgo trees spread across the land. The period ended with another mass extinction, paving the way for the Jurassic and the golden age of dinosaurs.
