A genuinely extraordinary Pecten latissimus fossil shell mortality bedrock plate, expertly prepared by Benjamin Allison and prepared for wall display. This remarkable specimen measures 700mm in height and showcases a breathtaking array of uniquely detailed specimens.
This is a rare window into a long-forgotten time that speaks to the awe-inspiring resilience of life across aeons of evolution, offering tangible links to our world's distant past. These specimens from southern France are no longer available, making this item particularly rare and a one-of-a-kind treasure that may not be repeated. This genus type at this particular location is exceptionally rare as the world becomes more conscious of the fragility of our natural environment.
Representing more than a scientific artefact, this is a statement of substantial size and never-before-seen preparation separating the Pectens from within the plate, hosting intricate detailing, and now, a unique provenance. Overall, the aesthetic commands attention in any collective, bringing sophistication to your environment unlike any other.
