EXTINCTIONS CHOICE - Fabulous Pararaucaria Cone
Stock Number  FPCON41
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Pararaucaria sp.
Age:  Jurassic
Formation:  Petrified Forest
Location:  Cerro Cuadrado, Patagonia, Argentina
Size:  Cone is 2.4 inches long

This is a spectacular Pararaucaria cone from the wilds of Patagonia. This fabulous cone has been replaced by silica and still retains its natural shape. The distinct 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 extremely well defined. The small stem is also easily seen, which is extremely unusual. This is the best example of a Pararaucaria cone we have ever seen, period.

This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
