This little box includes one or two pieces of natural fossilized gastropod.
Gastropods are a class of mollusks that have an external shell, like snails, or may be devoid of it, like slugs.
With more than 150,000 species, they constitute one of the most diversified groups of invertebrates known, only surpassed by insects.
The fossil includes a label with the name, period and provenance and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the samples are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The fossils come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the fossil. The size is approximate.
