Description
Pachyvascoceras Glabrum Fossil Ammonite
This listed fossil is identified as Pachyvascoceras glabrum, a fossil ammonite from the Lower Turonian of the Cretaceous. The locality is recorded as Gombe, Nigeria, giving this specimen strong appeal for collectors interested in Cretaceous fossils, ammonites and Nigerian palaeontology. Its named identification and geological placement make it a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, educational display or geology-themed interior.
Geological Context
The Turonian is a stage within the Cretaceous Period. The Lower Turonian represents an important interval in Cretaceous geological history, and fossils from this stage can help illustrate the marine life associated with that time. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods with chambered shells, and their fossils are widely valued by collectors because named ammonite forms can provide a connection between visible natural history specimens and the geological timescale.
Pachyvascoceras glabrum is presented here with the supplied identification of Lower Turonian, Cretaceous. This makes the specimen suitable for anyone building a collection around Cretaceous ammonites, Turonian fossils or geographically specific material from Nigeria. The locality information is Gombe, Nigeria.
