    Description

    ATTRACTIVE SLICED FOSSIL PINE CONE
    Araucaria mirabilis
    Jurassic - Callovian Age
    Jaramillo, Santa Cruz, Patagonia, Argentina
    The Araucaria species is one of the oldest tree-types still on this Earth, and one of the mightiest. The A. mirabilis is an ancestor of the modern monkey-puzzle tree and the Norfolk pine; they are coniferous evergreens, abundant across the Americas in the Jurassic period. The tallest recorded fossil specimen is 500 feet, high enough even to escape the long necks of the giant sauropod dinosaurs that leisurely grazed these pine forests 165 million years ago. These pine cones were replaced by quartz and can be cut and polished to reveal fine interior details. This specimen is a pine cone half with both a great polished interior that shows off the seed details and an exterior exactly like a modern pine cone. This fine pine cone half bears an attractive pink hue and measures 1 ½ inches tall.
