Colonia di corallo fossile - Animale fossilizzato - Cladochonus sp. - 22 cm - 18.5 cm (Senza prezzo di riserva)
A striking fossil coral colony attributed to Cladochonus sp., preserved in remarkable three-dimensional relief on its original matrix. The specimen displays a dense network of branching tubular corallites, creating an intricate natural structure that vividly illustrates the growth pattern of this colonial marine organism.
Each tube represents an individual coral polyp within the colony, forming a complex framework that once thrived in ancient shallow seas. The exceptional preservation allows the tubular architecture to be observed in detail, with hundreds of interconnected corallites visible across the surface.
The contrast between the fossilized colony and the dark matrix enhances both scientific interest and aesthetic appeal. Unlike many flattened coral fossils, this specimen retains significant original relief, providing depth and texture from every viewing angle.
Adding further historical value, the reverse side retains an old collection label identifying the specimen as Cladochonus sp., reflecting its provenance from a former private collection.
Mounted on a custom metal display stand, the specimen is ready for exhibition and makes an impressive centerpiece for any fossil, coral, or natural history collection.
An excellent example of a colonial fossil coral, combining scientific significance, strong visual impact, and classic collector appeal.
