EDITORS COMMENTS
In this studio shot, the fossilized remains of a Hoplites ammonite take center stage against a sleek, black background. Hailing from the Cretaceous period of Southern England, this 7.8 cm wide specimen is a stunning example of the strongly-ribbed Ammonite, a type of cephalopod that roamed the Mesozoic seas over 100 million years ago. The Hoplites ammonite, named for its distinctive hop-like ribbing, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the Phanerozoic Concordat, an era marked by the presence of abundant fossilized life. This particular fossil is a member of the Ammonoidea family, characterized by their spiral shells and complex siphuncle structure. The intricate patterns etched into the fossil's surface speak to the complex life of this ancient mollusk. The Hoplites ammonite's ribbing was likely used for support and buoyancy, while its siphuncle housed the animal's vital organs and maintained its position within the water column. As a Cretaceous invertebrate, this ammonite lived during a time when dinosaurs ruled the land and dominated the popular imagination. Yet, the beauty and complexity of the Hoplites ammonite and its ilk have long captivated scientists and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the prehistoric world that once was. This mesmerizing specimen, expertly captured by the skilled lens of photographer Paul Taylor, serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie hidden beneath the earth's surface, waiting to be discovered and appreciated by future generations. David Lewis, the collector or curator, can be credited for preserving this precious piece of history for all to marvel at.
