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 discovery site for these objects.
Scientists disagree on how the internal shape was formed. One hypothesis is the expansion/contraction of bubbles due to gas trapped inside that cannot escape.
This specimen is very large.
Dimensions: 50H x 49W x 13.5P
