About the Item
Oligocene Turtle Fossil, South Dakota
This exceptional mounted turtle fossil originates from the Oligocene period (approximately 23–34 million years ago) and was unearthed in South Dakota, a region renowned for its rich fossil deposits. The specimen preserves the turtle’s carapace in remarkable condition, with its natural crackle pattern and earthy tones offering both visual depth and textural interest. Expertly stabilized and presented on a custom black metal display stand, the piece combines scientific significance with refined presentation. Measuring 10 inches in height (including stand), 7 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth, it serves as a striking example of prehistoric life. Both a rare collectible of paleontological importance and a sculptural decorative object, this fossil bridges natural history and modern design, making it ideal for display in museums, private collections, or as a statement piece in sophisticated interiors.
