Fossil Block Of Starfish - French Paleontology
Large sandstone block bearing the imprints of starfish, Asteriacites lumbricalis. Dated to the Rhaetian, the last stage of the Triassic (just before the Jurassic) – 208 to 200 million years ago.
Deposit: Burgundy (21)
. Height of the block: 17 cm.
The imprints are raised above the substrate. This is explained by the fact that it is a sedimentary infill of the original layer, after the marks left by marine animals. This branch of geology-paleontology is called ichnology, the science of animal tracks.
Provenance: former French paleontological collection.
A very attractive block. Rare in this size. A beautiful collector's item, but also ideal as a natural curiosity.
