Age:  Jurassic
Formation:  ''Petrified Forest''

This is a fantastic fossil cone. It is a gorgeous specimen of Araucaria mirabilis from the Jurassic of Argentina. This fossil cone is quite large and totally inflated. The cone exhibits exquisite detail. The stem attachment point is easily seen, and the individual cone scales are very ''crisp'' and beautifully displayed. This is one of the nicest Araucaria cones we have ever had.

Note: Argentina has now banned the export of all fossils. We will strictly abide by and enforce this law - we will not acquire new fossils from Argentina. However, this fossil was collected and exported prior to this law, and can be sold legally.
