Description
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.
