Large Fossil Coral Spheres - Triassic - Fossil fragment - Fossil Coral - 97 mm - 97 mm
No. 96775352
This fascinating sphere is made of fossil coral from Madagascar. Fossil coral from Madagascar generally dates back to the Triassic period, about 230-250 million years ago. During this period, many colonies of coral began to form in ancient shallow seas, where they were then fossilized through sedimentation and mineralization processes.
The Triassic is the first period of the Mesozoic era, a time when the proliferation of the first dinosaurs and other primitive life forms in seas and oceans occurred. The fossil corals from this period still retain traces of ancient marine life, which we can observe today in the structures of the stones. The Sphere presents a dominant golden orange hue, dotted with brown and ochre shades that give it a warm, earthy appearance. Its surface is rich in natural details, with a texture reminiscent of ovoid cells, a memory of the ancient coral structures formed millions of years ago.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
