Description from the seller

コーラルのフリーフォームとツリリテラ球体をカスタムスタンドで展示した素晴らしい組み合わせ

Wonderful Fossilized coral, also known as coral fossil stone or petrified coral, is a type of fossil formed when ancient coral organisms are replaced with minerals over time, resulting in a hardened stone-like substance.
Corals are marine animals and it is their skeletons that are fossilized and preserved. The entire process can take over 20 million years.
Fossilized coral often retains the structure and texture of the original coral, including the distinctive patterns of the coral polyps. However, the colors and details may vary depending on the minerals present during the petrification process. It can range from white to gray, brown, red, or even blue hues.
This stone represents a fascinating intersection of geology and biology, offering a glimpse into the ancient history of coral reefs and the oceans they inhabited millions of years ago.

Fossilized turritella refers to the preserved remains or traces of turritella shells from ancient geological time periods. These fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks and can provide valuable insights into past environments and ecosystems.
Turritella is a genus of small sea snails known for their distinctive spiral-shaped shells. These shells are often fossilized and can be found in various parts of the world. The name "turritella" comes from the Latin word "turris," meaning tower, which refers to the tall, slender shape of the shell.

Turritella shells are commonly used in jewelry and as decorative items due to their unique appearance. They feature beautiful patterns created by the remains of marine organisms that lived inside them millions of years ago.

Approximate Dimensions :
# Coral Freeform : Height : 16 cm, Width : 15 cm (without stand)
# Turritella Sphere : Height including stand : 14.2 cm, Diameter 6.7 cm
