I had to google it to understand the explanation of the title.

The ammonite, which weighs 3.5 tons and is 180 centimeters tall, is in the LWL Museum of Natural History in Münster. Its scientific name is Parapuzosia seppenradensis, named after its location in Seppenrade, Westphalia. Casts of the giant ammonite can be seen in almost all major natural history museums in the world.

The fossils of the two largest ammonites in the world were found in Seppenrade.
This cast was erected in 1967 and provided with a memorial plaque. The ammonite became the Seppenrader coat of arms on March 31, 1969 and was adopted into the Lüdinghauser city coat of arms in 1982.
The original fossilization of the largest ammonite in the world was donated to the Natural Science Museum at Münster Zoo after it was found in 1895.

There are now three more replicas. These are in front of the rose garden in Seppenrade including information boards about this superlative.
