2.7" Cretaceous Ammonite (Oxytropidoceras) Fossil - Oklahoma
This is a nicely preserved fossil ammonite of the genus Oxytropidoceras sp., collected from the Duck Creek Formation of Kingston, Oklahoma. It comes with an acrylic display stand.
Ammonites were predatory cephalopod mollusks that resembled squids with spiral shells. They are more closely related to living octopuses, though their shells resemble that of nautilus species. True ammonites appeared in the fossil record about 240 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.
