2.3" Miniature Fossil Cluster (Ammonites, Belemnite, Urchins) - France

This is an exquisite cluster of small marine fossils (ammonites, bivalve, brachiopod, urchins, and belemnite) which have been prepared using acid-etching techniques. The detail of these small marine fossils is amazing and it's a very displayable piece. These miniature fossils clusters were discovered a few years back in France, near the Austrian border. I haven't seen them on the market anywhere else. They are Jurassic in age (Oxfordian Stage), or approximately 159 million years old.

The identifiable species include:

Ammonites - Cardioceras sp.
Bivalve - Myophorella perlata
Brachiopod - Thurmanella thurmani
Urchins - Polydiadema superbum & Nucleolites micraulus
Belemnite - Hibolites

The entire cluster measures 2.3 x 1.9" and has been mounted to an acrylic display base with a high-quality hot glue to ensure the specimen makes it to you in one piece.
