AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These bizarre fossil oysters from Madagascar are rare and only recently available.
Giant specimen 14,5 x 9 x 5 cm
Only a small amount of material leaves Madagascar because no processing takes place in the country (not sawn, ground or polished) and an export is therefore not eligible for approval.
The preparation of the fossils does not fall under processing and thus added value at the Beautiful and very aesthetic
Seller's Story
Don & Donna Fossils finally moved to Spain.
We are a Don & Donna Fossils, a couple united by the love of exploration, field research, professional preparation and museum display of fossils from all over the world.
This formula, combined with a desire to improve, makes us a winning team dedicated to our Fossil World.
Larisa is been passionate about fossils since was a child. Her strengths are perfectionism, perseverance and creativity, hence her ability to work and prepare these fossils as authentic, unique and aesthetic as possible. The pieces with which she is famous and which she boast the most are spiny ammonites.
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
