RARE: Fagesia pachypodioides Fossil Ammonite – Lower Turonian, Cretaceous – Soria Burgos, Spain – From Alice Purnell Collection

Original price was: £36.00.Current price is: £28.80.

For sale is a RARE and highly collectible fossil ammonite of the species Fagesia pachypodioides, dating to the Lower Turonian stage of the Cretaceous Period (approximately 94–90 million years ago). This superbly preserved specimen was discovered in Soria Burgos, Spain, a site renowned for yielding excellent examples of mid-Cretaceous marine fauna.

Fagesia is a genus within the family Acanthoceratidae, part of the broader group of ammonoid cephalopods that thrived in Cretaceous seas. Characterised by its thick, rounded whorls and intricate shell ornamentation, Fagesia pachypodioides is of significant paleontological interest due to its biostratigraphic utility and evolutionary placement. These ammonites were fast-swimming marine predators that played a key role in the ancient ocean ecosystems.

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.
