Depicted Animal

Arietites bucklandi  (SOWERBY, 1816)
0.5 M    198 MYA   

Systematics: Arietitidae, Ammonitida, Ammonoidea («Neocephalopoda»), Cephalopoda, Mollusca
Habitat: marine, continental slope; benthic

This is a large ammonite and an index fossil of the Lower Sinemurian (Lower Liassic, Early Jurassic). Ammonitids («Neoammonoidea») were cephalopods with an external shell («Ectocochlea») mainly known from the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The shell consists of the body chamber for the living animal and the phragmocone which is divided by septa into camerae that are linked by a siphuncle for buoyancy regulation by means of gas exchange.
