Geology & Fossil Type:
This ammonite originates from the Middle Oxfordian, a stage within the Upper Jurassic, dating back approximately 160 million years. The Oxfordian period was marked by warm, shallow seas, which provided an ideal environment for ammonites to thrive. Fossils from this period are crucial for biostratigraphic dating, allowing geologists to correlate rock layers worldwide.
Trimarginites trimarginites belonged to the subclass Ammonoidea, an extinct group of marine mollusks closely related to modern squids and octopuses. These ammonites had intricately ribbed shells that provided structural support and protection from predators. Their chambered shells allowed for buoyancy control, enabling them to move efficiently through prehistoric oceans.
