RARE: Fagesia moultoni Ammonite Fossil | Lower Turonian Cretaceous | Sarthe, France | Authentic Specimen w/ Certificate
£ 60.00
Presenting a RARE and authentic Fagesia moultoni ammonite fossil, unearthed from
the Lower Turonian stage of the Upper Cretaceous period, in the Sarthe region of France. This remarkable marine fossil provides a glimpse into the ammonite fauna that thrived approximately 93 to 89 million years ago in ancient European seas.This listing features the actual specimen you will receive, and includes a scale cube with 1cm squares for precise size reference. Each fossil we offer is 100% genuine, professionally selected, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.GEOLOGICAL & SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION:
• Species: Fagesia moultoni
• Type: Fossil Ammonite (extinct marine cephalopod)
• Geological Period: Cretaceous
• Stage: Lower Turonian
• Location Found: Sarthe, France
• Order: Ammonitida
• Superfamily: Acanthoceratoidea
• Family: Acanthoceratidae
• Morphological Features: Fagesia moultoni is characterised by moderately involute, thick discoidal shells, with widely spaced ribs and faint tuberculation. The body chamber may exhibit gentle uncoiling. This genus shows a transitional morphology typical of Turonian ammonite lineages.
• Depositional Environment: Fossilised within fine-grained marine sediment indicative of a warm, shallow epicontinental sea that once covered parts of what is now western Europe during the Cretaceous.
• Scientific Notes: Fagesia is of interest for biostratigraphic zonation in the Turonian and is linked to evolutionary trends within the Acanthoceratidae family. It helps to define key biozones within mid-Cretaceous sequences across Europe and North Africa.WHY BUY FROM US?
• 100% genuine fossils, carefully sourced and identified.
