AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

マダガスカルの絶滅巨大カメ、Aldabrachelys abruptaに属する印象的な化石の甲羅片。

標本は元の甲羅のかなりの部分を保存しており、外表面には自然な甲板紋様(スキュートの質感)、成長パターン、および化石化の過程で生じた不規則な風化が現れている。破断縁に沿って、甲羅の多孔質な内部構造がはっきりと見え、甲羅の構造を興味深く垣間見ることができる。

裏面はより平坦な内部表面を露出しており、細かな構造ディテールと天然の鉱化の痕跡が今も見てとれる。

化石は暖かいベージュ、クリーム色、淡い黄土色の色調を示し、年齢と地質的性格を強調するように、濃い部分や表面の変化が見られる。

Aldabrachelys abruptaはかつてマダガスカルに生息していた巨大カメの一つであり、島の顕著な絶滅第四紀巨獣の一部を成している。

自然史コレクション、化石展示、珍品コレクションの棚に適した、規模のある非常に装飾的な脊椎動物の化石。

金属製ディスプレイスタンドを同梱。
