Description
Vascoceras Glabrum Fossil Ammonite
This genuine Vascoceras glabrum fossil ammonite is identified as Lower Turonian and Cretaceous. It is associated with Gombe, Nigeria, and comes from the Alice Purnell Collection. The specimen is an appealing addition to a fossil collection, geological display, natural history cabinet or educational collection focused on ammonites and the Cretaceous Period.
Identification and Geological Context
Vascoceras glabrum is a fossil ammonite, a group of extinct marine cephalopods known for their coiled shells and importance in geological studies. Ammonites are widely valued by collectors because their form combines distinctive natural geometry with a direct connection to Earth’s ancient marine environments. The Lower Turonian belongs to the Cretaceous, a geological period known for diverse marine life and significant fossil deposits.
The Vascoceras name places this specimen within an ammonite identification of particular interest to collectors who specialise in Cretaceous fossils, ammonites, biostratigraphy and historical geology. Fossil ammonites can also be used in educational settings to explore extinct marine animals, fossilisation, geological time and the way palaeontologists identify and compare forms preserved in rock.
Collection and Display
This specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection, adding collection provenance to its presentation and making it suitable for enthusiasts interested in named fossil collections as well as geological specimens. It can be displayed as a standalone ammonite fossil or incorporated into a wider arrangement of Cretaceous fossils, cephalopods and natural history objects.

Suitable Uses
This Lower Turonian Cretaceous ammonite is suited to private fossil collections, geology enthusiasts, classroom and museum-style educational displays, fossil identification study and natural history décor. Its named identification and geological age make it especially relevant to collectors seeking Vascoceras glabrum, Cretaceous ammonites or specimens associated with Nigeria.
The combination of a documented identification, Lower Turonian age, Cretaceous geological context, Gombe, Nigeria association and Alice Purnell Collection connection gives this fossil a strong place in a focused ammonite or palaeontology display. It is also a thoughtful gift for a fossil collector, geology student, teacher or anyone fascinated by extinct marine life and the deep history recorded in fossils.
