£ 24.00
This Hecticoceras (Putealiceras) frederici fossil ammonite is a fascinating
specimen from the Middle Callovian stage of the Jurassic Period, discovered in Germany. Known for its beautifully preserved and distinct shell, this ammonite offers a glimpse into the Middle Jurassic seas, which were home to a diverse array of marine life. The species Hecticoceras frederici (previously classified as Putealiceras frederici) is a remarkable ammonite, often sought after by collectors for its elegance and well-defined structure. GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
• Geological Stage: Middle Callovian, Jurassic (Approximately 166 to 161 million years ago)
• Depositional Environment: The Callovian Stage was a period marked by warm, shallow seas that spread across much of Europe. The ammonites like Hecticoceras frederici thrived in these seas, where they played an important role in the marine ecosystems. The fossil was formed in sedimentary deposits created in these ancient marine environments, particularly in the Middle Jurassic waters of what is now Germany.
• Biozone: This fossil comes from a Middle Callovian biozone, a time known for an abundance of ammonite species, making it an important period in marine life evolution. FOSSIL FEATURES:
• Family: Hecticoceratidae
• Super Family: Hecticoceratoidea
• Order: Ammonitida
• Morphology: The Hecticoceras (Putealiceras) frederici ammonite features a coiled, compressed shell with fine ribbing along the surface. Its distinctive, elegant structure is characterized by a smooth curvature and subtle ribbed texture. The ammonite’s shell has a well-defined whorl with a smooth, flowing shape that is typical of the Callovian ammonite species. NOTABLE DETAILS:
