A find from The Hidden Bazaar
Ancient Layered Stromatolite Slab | Fossil Display Specimen | 62.2 oz
$198.00
A substantial stromatolite specimen displaying broad, undulating layers formed by the activity of ancient microbial communities. The cut and weathered surfaces reveal cream, tan, gray, and muted olive bands with natural fractures and irregular relief.
Curated by The Hidden Bazaar, this piece was found in Nevada and brings deep geological history into a display setting. Stromatolites are layered organosedimentary structures built as microbial mats trap and bind sediment over time, making their banding a record of repeated growth and deposition.
