AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cretaceous fossil matrix with bivalve, gastropod, and ammonite
Sedimentary matrix containing three fossils perfectly preserved within a single geological formation dating back to the Cretaceous. The well-visible details on the shells suggest fossilization occurred in a marine environment rich in iron sediments, which allowed the preservation of delicate structures such as growth lines and traces of biological encrustations.
The set creates a unique piece of great scientific and collectible value, representing a window into a prehistoric marine ecosystem.
Large central bivalve Cyprina sedgwickii
Gastropod with a spiral on the left side belonging to the genus Tylostoma.
Ammonite on the lower/right part of the Phylloceratidae matrix.
