Description

Orthosphinctes Ammonite assemblage from the Malm Gamma 1 from the Druegendorf Quarry near Ebermannstadt in Franken / Bavaria in Germany for sale .

Orthosphinctes is an Ammonite characteristic for the Malm gamma 1. In the Upper Malm (Malm gamma 2/3) almost the same Ammonite is represented by Ardescia. Ardescia is probably a evolutionary stage of Orthosphinctes. They are found often in the same quarries in the area, but in different layers. Orthosphinctes below and Ardescia above.
