Description from the seller
Cymatoceras Nautilus – 19x22 cm / Circumference 63 cm – Albien
Description
Proudly offered: an extraordinarily large and heavy fossil of a prehistoric Nautilus, belonging to the genus Cymatoceras. This impressive masterpiece of nature comes from the Albien (Early Cretaceous, approx. 113 - 100 million years old) and was unearthed in the rich fossil fields of Madagascar.
With a weight of 5437 grams and a circumference of 63 cm, this is a rare robust specimen. Unlike ammonites, fossil nautiluses are much rarer, making this piece a valuable investment for the serious collector or an exclusive eye-catcher for a luxury interior.
Unique features:
Characteristic flame pattern: The surface shows the fabulously beautiful, undulating 'flames' and growth lines in rich caramel, amber, and cream tones
Shipping & Costs:
This precious object is packed with extreme care and thickness. Shipping is carried out exclusively by registered mail and 100% insured. Any customs, import duties and/or other additional costs outside the Netherlands are entirely for the buyer."
