description |
|
As Bivalve's go, this is the finest example that Fossils Direct have ever offered and probably will not be surpassed! Preserved on a worked piece of Gault clay is this exceptional bivalve which has been worked three dimensionally from the surrounding matrix. The detail is stunning. The specimen is very "alien like" with protruding spines from the top and bottom. The bivalve itself is quite common in the fossil record. However, this is the finest Gault clay example that we have personally ever seen either in museum collections or private hands. Simply the best we have ever offered! |
