ABOUT STEPHANOCERAS HUMPHRIESIANUM:

Stephanoceras humphriesianum is a highly sought-after ammonite species, notable for its boldly ribbed shell, intricate suture patterns, and robust whorls. It belonged to the family Stephanoceratidae and was a fast-moving, nektonic predator that thrived in the warm Jurassic seas.
