Presenting a RARE and authentic Fagesia moultoni ammonite fossil, unearthed from the Lower Turonian stage of the Upper Cretaceous period, in the Sarthe region of France. This remarkable marine fossil provides a glimpse into the ammonite fauna that thrived approximately 93 to 89 million years ago in ancient European seas.
This listing features the actual specimen you will receive, and includes a scale cube with 1cm squares for precise size reference. Each fossil we offer is 100% genuine, professionally selected, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Geological & Scientific Information:
Species: Fagesia moultoni
Type: Fossil Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
Geological Period: Cretaceous
Stage: Lower Turonian
Location Found: Sarthe, France
Order: Ammonitida
Superfamily: Acanthoceratoidea
Family: Acanthoceratidae
Morphological Features: Fagesia moultoni is characterised by moderately involute, thick discoidal shells, with widely spaced ribs and faint tuberculation. The body chamber may exhibit gentle uncoiling. This genus shows a transitional morphology typical of Turonian ammonite lineages.
Depositional Environment: Fossilised within fine-grained marine sediment indicative of a warm, shallow epicontinental sea that once covered parts of what is now western Europe during the Cretaceous.
Scientific Notes: Fagesia is of interest for biostratigraphic zonation in the Turonian and is linked to evolutionary trends within the Acanthoceratidae family. It helps to define key biozones within mid-Cretaceous sequences across Europe and North Africa.

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.
