Collected Sculptural Danian-Aged Round Stone Formed 63 Million Years ago
About the Item
Exceptionally beautiful balanced sculptural stone formed in the Danian age 63 million years ago. Impressive find and a exquisite natural decoration for the sophisticated interior design. Reminds one of the large sculptures of Henry Moore.
The Danian is the oldest age or lowest stage of the Paleocene Epoch or Series, of the Paleogene Period or System, and of the Cenozoic Era or Erathem. The beginning of the Danian (and the end of the preceding Maastrichtian) is at the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 Ma. The age ended 61.6 Ma, being followed by the Selandian.
The exact mode of formation of flint is not yet clear, but it is thought that it occurs as a result of chemical changes in compressed sedimentary rock formations during the process of diagenesis. One hypothesis is that a gelatinous material fills cavities in the sediment, such as holes bored by crustaceans or molluscs and that this becomes silicified. This hypothesis certainly explains the complex shapes of flint nodules that are found.
