#Ammonite survival across the #Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary confirmed by new data from Denmark https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-34479-1
"If these findings are correct, they solve one mystery but leave us with another. Previous research has suggested that ammonite populations may have hung on for up to 68,000 years after the impact. So if the impact itself didn't deliver a fatal blow, what exactly finished them off?"
TJAmmonites (3D) - 2011.
3D Saturday! I didn't have something new to post for today, but I took a glimpse at a gallery of JPEGs I've made from inside the Scientific Center here, from 2011, and noticed these fossils which were in display back then. I hope I got the name right though!
To my eyes the depth seems OK, except for the rightmost part where the difference in perspective was big, so there could be some ghosting when viewed with the anaglyph glasses.

Helen PughHappy St Keyne’s Day!
There are various legends associated with dragons and serpents in Somerset. The legendary St Keyne is said to have turned snakes to stone in Keynsham. This was a way of explaining the ammonites found in the area and Keyne may have lent her name to the town.

Fossilium catalogus. Animalia / Pars 138, Ammoneae devonicae by Dieter Korn & Christian Klug
In the new Fossilium Catalogus presented here, numerous illustrations were included in the text in order to meet the various needs of a larger public with a diverse background. They are intended to clarify morphological and phylogenetic relationships, to facilitate identification of genera, as well as to make the volume less monotonous.
Goniatite sp.
Provenance: Rissani, Erfoud, Morocco
