It adorns coats of arms, flags and seals. It was made in marzipan or in bread form, and it is a cast in the middle of the village and in the largest natural history museum in the world - the "Parapuzosia seppenradensis". Behind this name is the world's largest ammonite, which was found exactly 120 years ago, on February 22, 1895, by Heinrich Ettmann in a quarry near the Grube farm in the Leversum peasantry. It is around 1.80 meters tall, weighs over 3.5 tons and is around 80 million years old. (Westphalian news)
