AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This premium lot features a remarkably diverse assemblage of four distinct gastropod species preserved in a single collection of high-transparency mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (~99 Ma). The collection showcases outstanding evolutionary variety through four distinct shell morphologies: an elongated high-spired pupiform shell, a conical-turreted trochiform specimen with distinct spiral ribbing, a flat-coiled planispiral discoidal form, and a rare, aberrant uncoiled horn-shaped morphotype. Preserved as clean, three-dimensional mineralized shells within a gem-grade matrix from the Hukawng Valley, this unique multi-taxa set offers immense comparative value for advanced paleontology collectors and institutional reference.
Please don't overestimate the size.
