Name:
Pararaucaria sp.
Age: Jurassic
Formation: Petrified Forest
Location: Patagonia, Argentina
Size: Cone is 2.2 inches long
This is an excellent Pararaucaria cone from the wilds of Patagonia. This Jurassic cone has been replaced by silica and is quite distinct. The fossil has been removed from the surrounding matrix so that it can be viewed from all angles. The cone is preserved in a 3-dimensional manner and exhibits very fine detail - the individual cone scales are very well defined. The stem attachment point is also easily seen. This is a wonderful example of this uncommon fossil cone from Argentina.
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.
