EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricately detailed shell of Manticoceras acutum, an extinct ammonoid cephalopod fossil. Ammonoids, part of the larger class Cephalopoda and phylum Mollusca, are a diverse group of marine invertebrates characterized by their chambered shells and the presence of a tentacle crown. Manticoceras acutum, specifically, is recognized by its distinctive, conical shape and finely ribbed surface. The specimen in this image was expertly captured by Beatriz Aguirre-Urreta, showcasing the beautiful, intricate patterns and textures of the fossil's shell. Ammonoids like Manticoceras acutum lived during the Late Jurassic period, around 155 to 150 million years ago. Their fossilized remains provide valuable insights into the Earth's ancient marine ecosystems and the evolutionary history of the molluscan class. This exceptional fossil is held at the esteemed Natural History Museum in London, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among researchers, students, and visitors alike. The museum's extensive collection of fossils and natural history specimens is a testament to the richness and diversity of the natural world, both past and present. As we gaze upon this magnificent fossil, we are reminded of the incredible journey of life on Earth and the importance of preserving and studying our planet's natural history.
