AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cenotrichus strigatus – The Fossil Trumpet Fish
A timelessly charming paleontological icon
This extraordinary fossil belongs to the extinct species Cenotrichus strigatus, also known as 'Trumpet Fish,' characterized by an extremely peculiar morphology with an elongated and tapered snout that resembles a spear or a trumpet.
Originating from an ancient fossil deposit located in Germany — an area famous for its extraordinary fossilization conditions — this specimen represents an authentic fragment of natural history, dating back to the Eocene, approximately 50 million years ago.
A witness to marine biodiversity
Fish belonging to the genus Cenotrichus inhabited ancient tropical seas now extinct. The exceptional sedimentary conditions of these locations have allowed for incredible preservation, providing us with extraordinary details of their bones and morphology.
The fossil presented here clearly shows the entire structure of the fish, from the characteristic tapered head to the tail, with anatomical details still perfectly legible.
A work of art sculpted by time
The surface of the rock housing the fossil enhances its aesthetic appeal, creating an elegant contrast between the light matrix and the darker tones of the fossilized bones. A piece that combines beauty and scientific importance, perfect for enriching a collection of fine fossils.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Kire Minerals is proud to present this magnificent Cenotrichus strigatus, an authentic jewel of paleontology, capable of telling millions of years of marine life history. A unique and elegant fossil, ready to enhance and distinguish any high-level natural history collection.
