Description
Identification and Geological Context
This listing features a Coilopoceras coiletti fossil ammonite from the Lower Turonian stage of the Cretaceous. The specimen is recorded from Gombe, Nigeria, providing an appealing regional and geological connection for collectors interested in Cretaceous fossils and ammonite identification. Coilopoceras coiletti is presented here as a fossil ammonite identification, making this an engaging addition to a collection focused on cephalopods, marine invertebrates, palaeontology or Cretaceous geological history.
Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods that lived in ancient seas and are commonly recognised by their coiled shells. Their fossil record is especially valuable to collectors and researchers because ammonites can be studied through shell form, preservation and geological occurrence. A Lower Turonian specimen represents a specific interval within the Cretaceous, allowing this fossil to be appreciated not only as a natural display piece but also as part of the wider study of ancient marine life and geological time.
Locality and Collection History
The recorded locality for this fossil is Gombe, Nigeria. Its regional origin adds interest for collectors building geographically documented fossil collections or seeking specimens connected with African palaeontology. This specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection, giving it a named collection association that can be retained as part of its accompanying documentation and display history.
The combination of the Coilopoceras coiletti identification, Lower Turonian age designation and Gombe, Nigeria locality makes this fossil suitable for collectors who value clearly described geological specimens. It may also appeal to educators, fossil enthusiasts and anyone creating a themed display covering ammonites, Cretaceous life or the geological history of Nigeria.
