Natural Blue Fossilised Coral Specimen 13.3cm | Indo-Pacific Ocean Fossil

This natural blue fossilised coral specimen includes beautifully preserved coral growth patterns in soft blue tones. Formed over millions of years, the original coral skeleton was gradually fossilised while retaining its distinctive internal structure, creating an unusual display piece. From the Indo-pacific ocean and is ideal for fossil, mineral and natural history collections Approximate Measurements 13.3cm x 5.9cm x 1.6cm How it formed Corals are marine animals that build rigid skeletons from calcium carbonate. After the coral colony was buried beneath layers of sediment, mineral-rich groundwater slowly preserved the original skeletal structure over millions of years. This natural fossilisation process created the specimen seen today while maintaining many of the coral's intricate growth patterns.
