Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a FAGESIA PACHYPODIOIDES Fossil Ammonite, identified as Lower Turonian, Cretaceous. The specimen is associated with Soria Burgos, Spain, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. Fagesia pachypodioides is a named ammonite fossil from the Cretaceous Period, making it an appealing addition to collections focused on ammonites, cephalopods, palaeontology and Mesozoic marine life.
Geological Context
The Lower Turonian forms part of the Cretaceous Period, an important interval in Earth history known for widespread marine environments and abundant fossil life. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern nautiluses, although they were not closely related to modern squid and octopuses in the same way. Their coiled shells are among the most recognisable fossils from the Mesozoic Era and are especially valued for their importance in biostratigraphy and geological study.
A fossil ammonite from the Lower Turonian provides a tangible connection to the marine ecosystems of the Cretaceous. Ammonite fossils are collected for their scientific interest, historical significance and natural visual appeal. The identification Fagesia pachypodioides gives this specimen particular interest for collectors who specialise in named ammonite taxa and Cretaceous fossil material.
Collection Information
This specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its stated location is Soria Burgos, Spain. Spanish Cretaceous fossil material is of interest to collectors studying the distribution of marine organisms and the geological history of the Iberian region. The specimen is offered as a collectible fossil for display, education and private palaeontological collections.
Display and Collector Interest
Ammonites are popular display fossils because they combine recognisable form with a direct link to ancient marine environments. A named Fagesia pachypodioides specimen can complement collections of Cretaceous fossils, ammonites, cephalopods, geological specimens and natural history objects. It is also suitable for educational displays exploring fossil identification, extinction, stratigraphy and the evolution of marine animals.
The specimen can be presented in a cabinet, study, office, classroom or home display. It may appeal to fossil collectors, geology enthusiasts, palaeontology students, educators and anyone interested in the natural history of Spain and the Cretaceous Period.
