nivek1969 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I recently acquired this very lovely fossil tentacle with amazing color and nicely prepped. I just cannot figure out from what specimen this could be from, or even if it is real. I believe it is legit because it has some crystallized aspects and if it's fake it is a very good one!

Aurelius Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 For the sake of clarity, it's not a tentacle but the cast of a shell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
