Ammonite Titanite Titan

This Was the round of Andy Randell and his team during a visit to southeastern British Columbia

The Fossil was first discovered in 1947 and dubbed a “fossil truck tire” before geologists inspected it.


Ammonites Went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period at the same time as the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. But in the 140 million years before that event, some species of ammonites evolved into very large, very capable predators, and the specimen shown in the tweet is far from the largest ammonite fossil on record. 

That Honor belongs to a 78-million-year-old fossil of the ammonite species Parapuzosia seppen radensis found near the town of Munster, Germany. 


The Animal that formed this incomplete fossil would have been over eight feet in diameter
