Description
Fagesia thorni Fossil Ammonite
This listing presents a Fagesia thorni fossil ammonite identified as Lower Turonian in age within the Cretaceous. The specimen locality is Gombe, Nigeria, giving it a defined geographic and geological context for fossil collectors, ammonite enthusiasts and educational collections.
Geological Identification
Fagesia thorni is an ammonite, a group of extinct marine cephalopods known from the fossil record. Its stated age, the Lower Turonian, places it within the Turonian Stage of the Cretaceous Period. The Turonian is a recognised interval of Cretaceous geological time and is important to collectors interested in ammonite diversity and marine fossil faunas.
The combination of a named ammonite identification, Lower Turonian age and Gombe, Nigeria locality makes this an appealing addition to collections focused on Cretaceous fossils, Nigerian palaeontology, ammonites or geological specimens with documented identification details. It can also be used as a conversation piece or as a teaching aid when exploring fossil classification and the history of ancient marine life.
Locality and Collector Interest
This fossil is associated with Gombe, Nigeria. Nigerian fossils are collected by enthusiasts interested in the country’s geological record and its contribution to the study of Cretaceous life. The locality information adds useful context for cataloguing and display, while the Lower Turonian identification helps place the specimen within a specific part of the Cretaceous rather than describing it only as a general ammonite fossil.
Fagesia thorni is especially suitable for collectors seeking a named ammonite fossil rather than an unidentified shell fragment. It may be displayed in a fossil cabinet, geological collection, classroom reference set or natural history themed interior. The specimen also makes a distinctive gift for an ammonite collector, fossil enthusiast, geology student or anyone interested in prehistoric marine organisms.
