EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking rock specimen showcases an abundance of beautifully preserved Promicroceras planicostus ammonites, a small species of Jurassic ammonite. Ammonites are an extinct group of marine fossil cephalopods, closely related to today's Nautilus. The intricately patterned, spiral shells of these ancient mollusks have captivated scientists and collectors alike for centuries. The Promicroceras planicostus, a member of the Eoderoceratidae family within the Ammonoidea order, is named after the American paleontologist Richard Swann Lull and the Latin words for "near-round" and "ribbed costate," respectively. These ammonites are characterized by their smooth, ribbed shells, which display a distinctive, wavy pattern. This mesozoic treasure was likely discovered in the Phanerozoic Conifer-Bearing Shale Formation, a geological unit known for its rich fossil deposits. The ammonites are preserved in exceptional detail, allowing us to appreciate their intricate shell structures and the subtle variations in color and texture. The study of ammonites, as well as other fossils, plays a crucial role in understanding the Earth's history and the evolution of life on our planet. As we continue to uncover the secrets hidden within the rocks, we gain valuable insights into the prehistoric world and the diverse array of animals that once inhabited it. This image of Promicroceras planicostus ammonites is a testament to the beauty and mystery of the natural world, inviting us to explore the wonders of the past and the fascinating journey of life on Earth.
