3.65" Miniature Fossil Cluster (Ammonite, Brachiopods, Urchin) - France

This is an exquisite cluster of small marine fossils (ammonites, brachiopods, and urchin) 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.
Brachiopods - Thurmanella thurmani
Urchin - Polydiadema superbum

The entire cluster measures 3.65 x 2.2" 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.
