Trilobite fossil

2018

About the Item

This trilobite fossil was delicately hand carved in herculite (a fine casting plaster). These marine arthropods first appeared around 521 million years ago living in the Cambrian period and most of the Palaeozoic Era for nearly 300 million years. They died out during the Permian mass extinction that wiped out 90% of all species. These creatures were probably predators, feeding on invertebrates on the sea floor. This relief carving is an accurate and proportionate depiction, cast in bronze and gilded with 22.5 carat champagne gold leaf. It is to be wall mounted. 12 to 14 weeks from confirmed order to date of collection from my studio.

  • Nautilus
    Located in Oswestry, GB
    The Nautilus shell is an excellent example of mathematics inherent within lifeforms of the natural world. As Davies consistently uses the 'golden ratio' (1:1.618) to proportion his work, he thought it important to exemplify this in his subject matter. The Fibonacci sequence (where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers) and the logarithmic spiral are also inherent here. The bronze shell is mounted on a black granite base in a way that creates an optical illusion suggesting it is levitating above the base. This bronze Nautilus...
