Description

Fossil Coral
Pleistocene
Red Sea
Sinai Peninsula, Egypt
8.66 x 7.48 x 6.69 inches (22.00 x 19.00 x 17.00 cm)

This massive "stump" of fossilized coral offers an incredible texture over a layered and sectioned form. The prehistoric marine remnant dates to the Pleistocene and is solid in form while still presenting as a highly porous material. This chunk is rather large and hefty making it a serious rustic display specimen.
