EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the ventral view of Oxynoticeras oxynotum, an exquisite oxycone ammonite that lived during the Lower Jurassic period, approximately 183 million years ago. Belonging to the subclass Ammonoidea within the class Cephalopoda and phylum Mollusca, this invertebrate mollusk is known for its distinctive, thin, disc-shaped shell with a prominent, curved keel. The animal's name, Oxynoticeras oxynotum, is derived from the Greek words "oxys," meaning sharp, and "noton," meaning back, referring to the pointed keel at the back of the shell. Oxynoticeras oxynotum is a testament to the rich diversity of life during the Mesozoic Era, a time marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. The ammonite's thin, disc-like shape and keeled shell were likely adaptations to help the animal navigate the seafloor and maintain stability in the water. The Jurassic period, during which Oxynoticeras oxynotum thrived, is a particularly fascinating time in Earth's history. It marked the rise of angiosperms, the first true flowers, and the emergence of many modern plant groups. This period also saw the proliferation of diverse marine life, including a variety of ammonites, belemnites, and other cephalopods. As you gaze upon this beautiful print, imagine the ancient ocean floor teeming with life, where Oxynoticeras oxynotum and its contemporaries roamed and thrived. This glimpse into the prehistoric world serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity and complexity of life that has existed on our planet throughout the Phanerozoic Concordat, the geological time period characterized by the presence of fossilized remains.
