Artistic Precambrian Australian Stromatolite

Stromatolites Baicalia cf. burra

Geological Time: Late Precambrian (~600 Million years ago)

Size (25.4mm=1 inch): 86 mm by 45 mm by 34 mm (maximum)

Fossil Site: Julius River, near Trowutta, Tasmania, Australia

Code: AAF158

Price: $55.00 - sold

Description: This is yet another form of stromatolite that is most esthetic in appearance, reminiscent of fine marble. The specimen has been hand-polished to a glassine finish on two sides with fine carbide and diamond abrasive, a very labor-intensive job.

Stromatolites have persisted to the modern day in such places as Shark Bay, Australia where they continue their billions of years old lifestyle. While this piece would make a fine present for any natural history buff, anyone who appreciates art would also be glad to get thus wonderful specimen as a gift.
