In our webshop, you can buy fossil coral. More specifically, you can buy raw fossil coral. Raw fossil corals are the physical remains of ancient coral colonies that have been preserved over time. These corals can take many different forms, from individual coral polyps to large colonies that can span several feet in diameter.
Fossil corals are typically formed through a process known as fossilization, which occurs when organic materials such as coral are buried under sediment and slowly replaced with minerals over time. This process can take thousands or even millions of years, and the resulting fossil can provide valuable insights into the past geological and ecological history of the Earth.
There are many different types of fossil corals, each with its own unique characteristics and properties. For example, rugose corals are an extinct group of corals that lived during the Paleozoic era and have distinctive ridges and bumps on their surface. Tabulate corals, on the other hand, are another extinct group that formed colonies with numerous individual polyps.
Fossil corals are often collected by researchers, scientists, and hobbyists alike, and can be found in a wide range of locations around the world. They can be used to study the evolution of coral reefs, as well as the geological and environmental changes that have occurred over millions of years.
In our webshop, we sell a variety of raw fossil corals. For both the expert collecter and someone that is finding them just simply beautiful.
