Geology and Fossil Type
- Geological Stage: Tithonian, Cretaceous
- Depositional Environment: Marine (The Tithonian stage was a time when the earth’s oceans were teeming with diverse marine life, including ammonites like Lytoceras regale. Fossils from this period were often preserved in marine sediments.)
- Family: Lytoceratidae (A family of ammonites known for their distinctive, smooth, and often large spiral shells)
- Superfamily: Lytoceroidea
- Order: Ammonitida (Ammonites, part of the Cephalopoda class, related to modern squid and octopus)
Morphology Features
The Lytoceras regale ammonite features a large, smooth, and tightly coiled spiral shell. The shell’s smooth surface and large size make it easily distinguishable from other ammonite species. The well-defined suture lines inside the spiral shell offer insights into the internal structure and buoyancy adaptation of the ammonite. The curvature of the shell is gradual, adding to its characteristic appearance and ensuring its place as one of the most stunning examples of Cretaceous ammonites.
Notable Features
This ammonite is notable for its exceptional preservation, with clear suture lines and an intact spiral structure. The Lytoceras regale species is a rare find, and this fossil provides a rare opportunity to observe the distinctive morphology of this ammonite from the Tithonian stage of the Cretaceous period. The well-preserved features, along with the large, coiled shell, make it a valuable specimen for fossil collectors and those interested in the marine biodiversity of the Cretaceous seas.
