Description from the seller
Natural composition of cephalopod molluscs dating back to approximately 60-70 million years ago, when the terrible impact of an asteroid on the Earth decreed the end of the CRETACEOUS - PALEOGENE period.
The natural scenario that followed marked the end of many living terrestrial beings but also fully involved the entire marine ecosystem.
The asteroid's devastating impact on Earth also had, among its most terrible consequences, the formation of numerous freak waves that washed up cephalopod mollusc shells on beaches and among rocks.
This Albian block therefore represents the masterly work of the greatest artist of all time: NATURE.
The following can be distinguished within the block:
Douvilleiceras inequino dum
Notified
Cleoniceras
Nautilus
Fossil shells.
A true natural sculpture, to be observed from every angle and capable of conveying unique emotions and suggestions.
Weight: 8,600 kg (height 26 cm, length 23 cm, width 22 cm).
The cleoniceras shell, when observed carefully, still shows the siphonal line that connected the various chambers.
A timeless piece of natural design that will never go unnoticed, an object that will make any cabinet of curiosities unique... an auction absolutely worth conquering.
Happy bidding.
