RARE: Bauchioceras Fossil Ammonite – Lower Turonian, Cretaceous – Soria Burgos, Spain – From Alice Purnell Collection

Original price was: £36.00.Current price is: £32.40.

This listing features a RARE Bauchioceras fossil ammonite, collected from the Lower Turonian stage of the Cretaceous Period (~94 to 90 million years ago). This exceptional specimen originates from Soria Burgos, Spain, a locality well-known for high-quality mid-Cretaceous marine fossils.

Bauchioceras is a genus of ammonite in the family Acanthoceratidae, notable for its robust shell, pronounced ribbing, and evolutionary placement among Turonian ammonite faunas. These extinct marine cephalopods were free-swimming predators that thrived in the warm epicontinental seas that blanketed much of Europe during the Late Cretaceous. Their distinctive morphology provides valuable insight into the paleoenvironments of the time and helps define ammonite zonation globally.

This particular fossil is part of the renowned Alice Purnell Collection, a curated selection of rare and well-documented specimens. The image shown is the exact fossil you will receive, photographed with a 1cm scale cube for accurate size representation. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with every purchase.

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
