🦑 Fossil Overview:

This is a RARE and well-preserved Neocenoceras sp. Fossil Nautilus from the Cenomanian Stage of the Late Cretaceous (~100 million years old), sourced from Madagascar. Neocenoceras is a genus of extinct nautiloids that thrived in warm Cretaceous seas, characterized by its coiled shell with well-defined growth lines. Unlike ammonites, which have complex suture patterns, Neocenoceras exhibits a simpler chambered shell structure, making it an essential specimen for collectors and researchers studying cephalopod evolution.

This particular specimen originates from the Alice Purnell Collection, one of the largest and most renowned ammonite collections in the world. Fossils from this collection are highly sought after, ensuring this piece holds both scientific and historical significance.

🪨 Geological & Scientific Details:

• Species: Neocenoceras sp.
• Group: Nautiloid Cephalopod
• Age: Cretaceous (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian Stage, ~100 Million Years Ago)
• Formation: Marine Deposits of Madagascar
• Location: Madagascar
• Shell Features: Coiled with prominent growth lines, chambered internal structure
• Preservation: Excellent structural integrity with clearly defined features

Neocenoceras were early nautiloids that occupied warm, shallow marine environments, using their chambered shells to regulate buoyancy. Unlike ammonites, which eventually went extinct, modern nautiluses are direct relatives, making these fossils a key link in understanding cephalopod history.
