AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Natural composition of cephalopod mollusks
from approximately 60–70 million years ago,
when the terrible impact of an asteroid on
Earth brought the CRETACEOUS–PALEOGENE period to an end.
The natural events that followed marked the end
of many living terrestrial creatures, but also
profoundly affected the entire marine ecosystem.
Among the asteroid’s most terrible consequences
were the formation of numerous anomalous waves,
which swept shells of cephalopod mollusks onto
beaches and among the rocks.
This Albian block, therefore, represents the
masterful work of the greatest artist of all time:
NATURE.
The following can be distinguished within the block:
Douvilleiceras inequino dum
Ammonites
Cleoniceras
Nautilus
Fossil shells.
A true natural sculpture, to be admired
from every angle and capable of evoking
unique emotions and sensations.
The red iridescence the block displays
under certain lighting is particularly attractive.
Kg. 8,800 (h 24.5 cm, l 32 cm, d 17 cm).
A timeless piece of natural design that
will never go unnoticed, an object that will make any wunderkammer unique...an
auction lot that is an absolute must-win.
Happy bidding!!!
