Fossilised Wood Branch bevel cut 8.7cm

Fossilised Wood branch bevel cut, fossil from Madagascar. This attractive 8.7cm wide bevel cut fossil wood has been polished to show its beautiful coloured jaspers which have replaced the original wood very slowly in the process of silicification. The fossil wood is from the Araucaria or more commonly known as the Monkey puzzle tree. It is 248 million years old from the Triassic period. The Monkey puzzle tree population is in decline today so here is a chance to own a living fossil from Madagascar.
