🦑 Fossil Overview:
This is a RARE and well-preserved Eutrephoceras clementinum Fossil Nautilus from the Cenomanian Stage of the Late Cretaceous (~100 million years old), sourced from Le Havre, France. Eutrephoceras is an extinct genus of nautiloid cephalopod, known for its smooth, coiled, and chambered shell, which allowed it to control buoyancy in prehistoric marine environments.
Unlike ammonites, which feature intricate suture patterns, Eutrephoceras clementinum exhibits a more simplistic, yet robust chambered shell structure, closely resembling modern-day nautiluses. This makes it an important link in cephalopod evolution and a highly valuable fossil specimen for collectors and researchers alike.
This particular specimen originates from the Alice Purnell Collection, one of the largest and most renowned ammonite and cephalopod fossil collections in the world. Fossils from this collection are highly sought after, ensuring this piece holds both scientific and historical significance.
🪨 Geological & Scientific Details:
- Species: Eutrephoceras clementinum
- Group: Nautiloid Cephalopod
- Age: Cretaceous (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian Stage, ~100 Million Years Ago)
- Formation: Marine Deposits of Le Havre
- Location: Le Havre, France
- Shell Features: Smooth, coiled, and chambered structure with subtle growth lines
- Preservation: Exceptional condition with clearly defined chambers and excellent surface details
Eutrephoceras species like E. clementinum thrived in warm, shallow Cretaceous seas, using their chambered shells for buoyancy control. Their evolutionary lineage makes them one of the few surviving cephalopods closely related to modern nautiluses.
