Ammonite Extinct Extinction Fossil Fossilisation Fossilised Jurassic Jurassic Period Mesozoic Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ammonite Pathology" showcases the intricate details of a fossilized Hildoceras serpentinum ammonite, found in Airrault near Poitiers, Charentes, France. The image captures the mesmerizing beauty and scientific significance of this extinct creature from the Jurassic period. The photograph reveals fascinating indentations on the surface of the ammonite, which are believed to be signs of disease that afflicted these ancient marine organisms millions of years ago. These markings provide valuable insights into the pathology and health conditions experienced by these creatures during their existence. The Hildoceras serpentinum species belonged to a diverse group known as ammonites, which thrived in Earth's oceans for over 300 million years before becoming extinct at the end of the Mesozoic era. Fossilization has preserved their delicate structures, allowing scientists to study and understand their biology and evolution. Sinclair Stammers' expertly captured image not only highlights the aesthetic appeal but also emphasizes its scientific importance. This photograph serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history and offers a glimpse into an ancient world that existed long before humans walked on Earth.
