MONDAY'S MOLLUSC: Parapuzosia

This is Parapuzosia seppenradensis, the largest known species of ammonite in the world.

They are 1.8 m or 5.9 ft across and that that one wasn't even complete! The living chamber was missing a chunk so it's even bigger!

It lived during the Campanian Epoch of the Late Cretaceous Period in what is now Europe and North America where the Western Interior Seaway was located.

They were pelagic predators, probably feeding on fish,

squid,

other ammonites,

and even marine reptiles if they could catch them

all while evading adult mosasaurs who definitely had them on the menu.

Monday 17th of July, 2023 | 28th day

Hihihi! It's very late right now but today was nice!

I went to the library as I promised but I didn't do french (at least I kept a half of my promises)

I got 3 books at the library: one is a novel because I've been wanting to read one for so long (well, a month or so), another one is a math book because I've also been meaning to read one and the last one is an encyclopedia on molluscs because I saw it and thought it would be cool to read and I actually started to read a little already.

I also have got back in contact with two people today (wow). One was a friend from 3 years ago which I kind of just lost contact with when she graduated and another one is a girl from my school which I haven't talked to since the summer started because I didn't really know how to, plus she's spending the whole summer at a different country. That's it for today!

MONDAY'S MOLLUSC: Didymoceras

P. Diddy and Didymo bought to drop some notes!

Okay, probably not and even if they did, I wouldn't know cuz I don't listen to rap but that's neither here nor there. Didymoceras is an odd looking sucker. It's like a cross between a marine snail, a doctor's signatures and a piece of coprolite.

In reality, it's another hetermorphic ammonite. Like the other diva, the baculite, Didymoceras lived during Late Cretaceous. Unlike the baculite, it lived only during the Campanian Stage. There are twenty-one species of Didy and like famous rapper they all pretty much look the same (except in the case of rappers they all sound the same).

They have three growth stages: straight, curled and u-shaped. They also show sexual dimorphism (remember that?) with male specimens averaging 180 mm in height and female specimens averaging 270mm in height.
