RARE Tetragonites glabrus, Tetragonites timotheanus & Puzosia Fossil Ammonite Multi Block, Lower Albian, Cretaceous: Penzszgyor, Hungary

Description

This RARE Fossil Ammonite Multi Block features a stunning array of Tetragonites glabrus, Tetragonites timotheanus, and Puzosia ammonites, along with gastropods and other Cretaceous fossils. Discovered in the Lower Albian Stage of the Cretaceous Period in Penzszgyor, Hungary, this remarkable fossil block offers a rare and unique glimpse into the marine ecosystems of the early Cretaceous. The block contains beautifully preserved ammonites that were once part of an ancient marine environment, offering an exceptional addition to any fossil collection.

Geological Information:

• Geological Stage: Lower Albian, Cretaceous (Approximately 113 to 100 million years ago)
• Depositional Environment: The Lower Albian was a time of abundant marine life, with warm seas covering much of Europe, including the Penzszgyor region in Hungary. This environment was ideal for ammonites, gastropods, and other marine life to thrive. The fossils were preserved in sedimentary deposits formed in shallow marine environments, offering key insights into the diversity of marine fauna during the Cretaceous.
• Biozone: The fossils come from the Lower Albian biozone, a period known for the diversification of ammonites and the development of marine ecosystems that would later evolve into the more complex marine life forms of the Late Cretaceous.

Fossil Features:

• Family: Tetragonitidae, Pachydiscidae
• Super Family: Tetragonitoidea
• Order: Ammonitida
• Morphology:
• Tetragonites glabrus and Tetragonites timotheanus are known for their distinctly ribbed, evolute shells that show fine details of whorls and ribbing. The ribs are strong and typically run along the length of the shell.
• Puzosia features a more flattened shell shape with prominent ribs and complex suture lines.
• The gastropods in the block exhibit spiral shells with intricate patterns, showing the variety of marine life that lived alongside the ammonites. The multi-block offers a beautiful combination of ammonites and gastropods, preserved together in their natural form.
