EXTINCTIONS Choice

Age:  Jurassic
Formation:  Petrified Forest
Location:  Cerro Cuadrado, Patagonia, Argentina

This is a spectacular fossil cone. It is a gorgeous specimen of Araucaria mirabilis from the Jurassic of Argentina. This fossil cone is quite large and wonderfully inflated. The colorful cone exhibits exquisite detail. A long stem in still intact, which is quite unusual. The individual cone scales arebeautifully displayed - they protrude out away from the body of the cone, meaning the seeds were ready to shed. The back side of the cone also displays well. This is a top qulaity whole Araucaria cone with long stem attached. This is probably the best fossil cone 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.
