6.3" Jurassic Ammonite (Lytoceras) Fossil - France
This is a 6.3" wide Lytoceras ammonite fossil from Fresney, France. The ammonite is fully inflated with very nice surface detail. One edge of the rock is relatively flat and works nicely for presentation.
Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
