description |
|
Again this fossil fauna is the rarest we have ever sold on Fossils Direct. The surface of this hard shale is covered with shrimps that have exceptional detail, from their eyes to their legs, even their soft tissue parts have been preserved. All the outcrop in the harbour was taken away after a Conodont fossil was discovered amongst the shrimps. This fine specimen was discovered in the mid 1970's and resided in the late professor GORDON WALKDEN collection. Approximately 340 million years old. One for the discerning collector of exdceptionally rare Scottish fossils. |
