Tietea Tree Fern Log
Tietea singularis
Lower Permian
Motuca Formation
Bielandia, Filadelfia, Tocantins, Brazil

This small stump of Tietea tree fern from Brazil has been cut and polished on both ends to reveal of very intricate and extremely well-defined vascular structure. This 4.5 inch (11.43 cm) tall log section has both smooth surfaces preserved with the cream and tan porous cellular pattern from the once living tree fern bookending this unique piece. The heavy specimen is special given that both faces are polished, so it can be displayed easily. The earth tone coloration of this example makes it neutral for inclusion in any décor.
Overall Measurements: 6.73 x 4.53 x 7.76 inches (17.10 x 11.50 x 19.70 cm)
Offered at no reserve.

[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
