Septaria Nodule On Base
Magnificent cross-section of a septate nodule on a metal base. Septarian nodules are fossilized mud bubbles dating from around 50 to 70 million years ago. Belgium is a major site for these objects.
Scientists disagree on the origin of the internal shape. One hypothesis is the expansion/contraction of bubbles due to gas trapped inside that cannot escape.
This specimen is relatively small in size.
Dimensions: 41H x 32W x 11P
