When a type locality is listed as the site for a formation with many good outcrops, the site is flagged with a note ([Note 2]). When a particular site of note is listed for an extensive fossil-bearing formation, but that site is somehow atypical, it is also flagged with a note ([Note 3]).
Parapuzosia seppenradensis is the largest known species of ammonite. [1] It lived during the Lower Campanian Epoch of the Late Cretaceous period, in marine environments in what is now Westphalia, Germany. A specimen, found in Seppenrade near Lüdinghausen, Germany in 1895 measures 1.8 m (5.9 ft) in diameter, although the living chamber is ...
The Dalle à ammonites (or Dalle aux ammonites) at Digne-les-Bains (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) is a remarkable natural site consisting of a rock strata bearing a large number of fossilized ammonites. This site is located approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) south of Digne-les-Bains from Barles road.
The ammonites that form ammolite inhabited a prehistoric, inland subtropical sea that bordered the Rocky Mountains—this area is known today as the Cretaceous or Western Interior Seaway. As the ammonites died, they sank to the bottom and were buried by layers of bentonitic mud that eventually became shale .
These ammonites lived in the Jurassic from Sinemurian to Toarcian [2] (age range: 196.5 to 182.0 million years ago). Fossils of this genus can be found in Argentina, Austria, Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and United States.
Parapuzosia is an extinct genus of desmoceratid ammonites from the Cenomanian to the Campanian of Africa, Europe, and North America. [2] They are typically very large ammonites, reaching diameters of 60 cm (2.0 ft) or more, with the largest species measuring around 2 m (6.6 ft). [3]
The palace may have been built on top of an existing Byzantine structure in this shape. [12] There is a huge water reservoir dug into the ground adjacent to the palace. The Amman Citadel Mosque is an example of early mosques that imitated the Persian -style apadana hall, characterized by a "forest of columns"; these mosques are normally found ...
Of the few genera of ammonites which are thought to have survived the K-Pg extinction event into the Danian period (65-61 Myr) of the Paleogene, Hoploscaphites is the most widely and reliably recorded, with finds in Denmark, the Netherlands and the United States, and a possible record in Turkmenistan.
