Raro blocco di ossa di Plesiosauro – Cretaceo Superiore (circa 95–70 milioni di anni fa) – Goulmima, Marocco

Proponiamo in asta un affascinante blocco fossile proveniente dall’area di Goulmima (Marocco orientale), nota a livello mondiale per i suoi eccezionali giacimenti di vertebrati marini del Cretaceo Superiore (Formazione Aoufous, Turoniano–Coniaciano, circa 95–70 milioni di anni fa).

Il blocco, di dimensioni 43 × 38 × 20 cm (con supporto 43 × 48 × 20 cm), racchiude numerosi resti ossei attribuibili a un Plesiosauro, il grande rettile marino predatore che popolava i mari cretacici del Nord Africa. Sono ben visibili:
	•	alcune vertebre complete,
	•	costole,
	•	un osso del cinto pettorale,
tutti disposti tridimensionalmente nel sedimento originale.

La preparazione del fossile ha richiesto decine di ore di lavoro minuzioso, mettendo in risalto il suggestivo contrasto cromatico tra la matrice in pietra beige e le ossa di colore marrone scuro.

Il blocco presenta ossa distribuite a 360°, rendendolo spettacolare da ogni angolazione. È montato su un elegante supporto in acciaio, con piatto di base in acciaio, perno in inox e giunzione in ottone. Il sistema permette una rotazione libera del pezzo e lo smontaggio senza attrezzi, garantendo sia stabilità che praticità.

Un esemplare di grande impatto estetico, ideale sia per collezionisti privati che per esposizioni museali.
