Fossil Melongena Shell – Eocene – Old Collection

A beautifully preserved specimen of Melongena, originating from an old collection and dating back to the Eocene epoch (approximately 58–27 million years ago).

The shell retains its characteristic form and fine surface detail, with excellent preservation that highlights the natural elegance of this extinct marine gastropod. Its dark, well-defined structure makes it both scientifically interesting and visually appealing.

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine fossil from a classic old collection, this specimen is an excellent addition for collectors of fossil mollusks or anyone fascinated by the natural history of ancient seas.
