Ammonite fossil embedded in layered sedimentary rock. The spiral shell is well-preserved, showcasing distinct ribbed patterns and whorls. Surrounding rock exhibits horizontal striations in shades of gray and beige, typical of geological formations created under high pressure. These fossils are indicative of ancient marine environments, often found in limestone and shale, and serve as key index fossils, helping geologists date the age of the rock layers. Ammonites thrived during the Mesozoic era and are related to modern cephalopods.
