Exclusive Fossil Coral Sphere - Cretaceous - Fossil Madrepora - Mahajanga Formation - Fossil fragment - 170 mm - 170 mm
Beautiful Fossil Coral Sphere from Madagascar of the highest quality, cut from a large well fossilized coral. Fossil corals are a precious testimony of past life on our planet. These marine organisms, which were part of coral reefs, were buried under sediments during the Cretaceous era, about 65 million years ago. Madagascar is an island rich in fossils, including those of corals. These fossilized corals in Madagascar belong mainly to the geological formation of Mahajanga, dating back to the Upper Cretaceous period, about 70-80 million years ago. The Mahajanga formation is composed of various sedimentary rocks, including sandstones, limestones and marls, which contain remains of marine organisms, including corals, ammonites, belemnites and other mollusks.
