Geological & Scientific Information:
- Species: Fagesia fagesi
- Type: Fossil Ammonite (extinct marine mollusc)
- Geological Period: Cretaceous
- Stage: Lower Turonian (approx. 93.9 to 89.8 million years ago)
- Location Found: Sarthe, France
- Order: Ammonitida
- Superfamily: Acanthoceratoidea
- Family: Acanthoceratidae
- Subfamily: Fagesiinae
- Morphological Features: Moderately involute, strongly ribbed shell, generally globular in form with ventral tubercles. Its distinctive ornamentation helps to identify its placement in stratigraphy.
- Depositional Environment: Shallow marine environments with fine sedimentation, characteristic of the early Turonian transgressive phase following the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event.
- Scientific Importance: Fagesia species are biostratigraphically important for dating Lower Turonian marine sediments across Europe and North Africa.
Additional Notes:
Fagesia fagesi is a prized ammonite among Cretaceous collectors due to its rarity and zonal value. Its presence in Sarthe’s fossil record helps palaeontologists correlate layers across vast geographies. This example, with fine preservation, makes an excellent addition to any fossil or geological collection.
