- Age: Approx. 170 million years old
- Geological Period: Jurassic
- Stage: Lower Bajocian
- Location Found: Wochenberg, near Gesheim, Germany
- Order: Ammonitida
- Superfamily: Stephanoceratoidea
- Family: Stephanoceratidae
- Depositional Environment: Shallow epicontinental seas typical of southern Germany during the Bajocian, characterized by calcareous marine sedimentation in relatively low-energy environments ideal for fossil preservation.
