Description from the seller
A fascinating specimen of a fossil pine cone from a European Pliocene lake deposit. The site of origin corresponds to an ancient lake that existed for an estimated period of about a million years, where fine, constant sedimentation allowed for detailed preservation of the plant material.
The surface of the slab displays clearly legible leaf imprints and a rare pine cone, with visible veins and features that testify to the environmental conditions of the time. It is an ideal find for both paleobotanical collectors and those seeking a decorative piece with scientific value.
Age: Pliocene (approximately 5.3–2.6 million years ago)
Training environment: lake deposit
Origin: Europe
Plate size: 16*11*3 cm
Maximum pine cone size: 3.4 cm
The artifact is in good preservation condition, ready to be displayed or included in a thematic collection dedicated to paleobotany or Cenozoic paleoenvironment.
Accurate shipping with protective packaging.
