Description from the seller
A highly aesthetic and completely natural fossil trunk of giant Horsetail from Bulgo Sandstone at Long Reef, Sidney , beautifully preserved and perfectly centered on its original matrix.
Specimens with such balanced presentation and visual appeal are highly sought after by collectors of fossil plants and natural history displays.
Originating from the renowned Triassic deposits of Bulgo Sandstone at Long Reef, Australia, this specimen showcases the characteristic segmented structure of Calamites, an ancient tree-like relative of modern horsetails that flourished hundreds of millions of years ago.
Highlights
Genuine Calamites fossil trunk
Age: Triassic
16 x 11 cm
Beautifully centered on original matrix
100% natural specimen – no restoration or reconstruction
Excellent preservation of surface details
Highly aesthetic display piece
Ideal for fossil plant and Paleozoic–Mesozoic collections
Collector's Significance
Plant fossils displaying such a pleasing composition are considerably rarer than fragmented or off-center examples. The natural contrast between the fossil and matrix, combined with the specimen's symmetry and preservation, creates an exceptionally attractive display.
Unlike heavily prepared or restored specimens often encountered on the market, this example remains entirely natural, preserving both its scientific integrity and collector value.
An elegant and authentic fossil plant specimen, combining rarity, natural preservation, and outstanding visual appeal in a single display-quality piece.
Seller's Story
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
