Description

Laminated block of palygorskite of almost 0.5 Kg, that exposed a fossilized plant when I opened. Both parts, positive and negative of the fossil will be delivered to the buyer. Lower Miocene fossils of the endorreic Madrid Basin are very rare, and this fossilized plant is the biggest and best preserved sample I have found after many years of searching.

Collected by Iván Blanco around 1989-1990.
