Description from the seller
ALBIAN BLOCK
Composition of cephalopod mollusks dating from about 60–70 million years ago, when the terrible asteroid impact on Earth decreed the end of the Cretaceous–Paleogene period.
The natural scene that followed marked the end of many terrestrial beings but also involved the entire marine ecosystem.
The asteroid’s devastating impact on Earth had among its most fearsome consequences the formation of numerous abnormal waves that swept onto beaches and among rocks, collecting shells of cephalopod mollusks.
Within the block you can distinguish:
Ammonites
Cleoniceras
Nautilus
Fossil shells.
A true sculpture, to be viewed from every angle and capable of evoking unique emotions and suggestions.
A timeless design piece that will never go unnoticed, an object that will make any wunderkammer truly unique… a lot absolutely worth conquering.
Pedestal not included, made from reclaimed material and used for photographic purposes only.
Happy bidding.
