Two Ammonite (Glochiceras) Fossils in Rock - Drügendorf, Germany
These are two beautiful ammonite (Glochiceras sp.) fossils collected from the Drügendorf Quarry in Drügendorf, Germany. They're from the Upper Jurassic period and have an orange-grey coloration. Most of the surrounding rock has been removed to expose these ammonites and one edge of the rock has been cut flat for aesthetic 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.
