This is an extremely rare fossil cone. It is a gorgeous specimen of a Pine Cone from the Eocene of Germany. This fossil cone is a TRUE PINE CONE, not a more common Auracaria cone! The cone is quite large and fully inflated. The cone exhibits exquisite detail. The LONG petiole is intact, and the individual cone scales are very distinct and beautifully displayed. The concretion is quite dense and is very heavy. This is great example of a true Pine Cone from Germany.
