RARE Gastropod Cassiope lujani Fossil – Middle Cretaceous – Spain

About the Fossil:

This rare and well-preserved Cassiope lujani fossil gastropod originates from the Middle Cretaceous period (~113-89 million years ago) and was discovered in Spain. Cassiope is an extinct genus of marine gastropods, characterized by its elegant coiled shell with fine ornamentation, making it a highly sought-after specimen among fossil collectors and researchers.

During the Cretaceous period, Cassiope lujani thrived in warm, shallow marine environments, where it played a role in the ancient marine food chain. The fossilization of these gastropods offers valuable insight into the paleoecosystems of the Cretaceous seas, which were home to ammonites, marine reptiles, and other diverse marine invertebrates.

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.
