Description from the seller

Beautiful specimen of a fossilized nautiloid.
Example of the species Cymatoceras characterized by a discoidal spiral shell, with a cross-section that varies from subcircular to subquadrate. Its whorls are flattened, with a slight depression on the upper part. The shell is ornamented with radial ribs and grooves that extend along the length of the spiral.
Artistic base made of antiqued wood and iron, specifically designed to emphasize the beauty of the fossil.
Design and elegance for a piece of history that can be included in a collection or displayed as an exclusive ornament.

Nautilo dimensions: 204 x 176 x 158
