Approximately 200 million years old.
A spectacular polished coral specimen. The coral has been silicafied. Because of this, this specimen takes an amazing and extremely high polish - almost glass like, to reveal the wonderful detail of the coral's structure. A stunning addition to any collection.
From an old collection is this exceptional and extremely large Graptolite slab. Preerved on the matrix are two very large "Tuning Fork" Graptolites, infact these are probably the largest we have personally ever seen!! An amazing specimen and a real eye catcher!
Preserved in a large rectangular block of chalk is this stunning and rare example of this cretaceous chalk sponge. The sponge has been expertly prepared. Examples like this are very seldom seen for sale as most of them end up in museum collections. This is a particularly fine and extremely sought after specimen.
