Xilópalo in Collection Box 4x4 cm

Pieces of Xilópalo.

The Xilópalo is Fossil wood. Their process to be fossilized begins when the climatic conditions covered them with mud, sand or volcanic ash before they rotted. Water seeped through the mud and sand filling in the empty cells of decaying matter, after millions of years all the wood was gone from the tree and the rocks and minerals were in their place. It had turned to solid stone.

Some fossil wood still shows the original wood structure, even under a microscope.

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 image)

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.
