About the Item

This natural fossil shell (Gigantopecten Restitutensis) is from Lubéron, in the south of France. These kind of shells were alive 20 millions years ago, when actual hills were an ocean. The fossil itself measures 16cm wide by 13,5cm high, and weights 3,3kg with the wooden base It has been cleaned and the matrix sculpted by hand by our expert in our workshop, to highlight the fossil. It's a great paleontological and decorative peace, with nice preservation.
