Glacial Relict with Pecten Shell - Fossilised shell - Pecten Islandicos - 25 cm - 23 cm (No Reserve Price)

Early Pleistocene Marine Aggregate with Pecten and Associated Mollusks – Glacial Relict Deposit A fascinating marine subfossil block preserving a remarkable diversity of shells, dominated by a large Pecten valve in association with numerous gastropods and bivalves. This specimen originates from a glacial relict deposit and represents the early stages of fossilization, dating back to the Early Pleistocene. Recovered at approximately 90 meters depth by trawling, the piece shows partially lithified sediment with shells still embedded in their original matrix, providing both a vivid aesthetic and valuable scientific record of paleo-marine environments. This is an impressive and highly decorative specimen, equally suited for collectors of Quaternary paleontology or as a natural display piece that embodies the transition from recent subfossils to true fossils.
