This section of permineralized wood in its 4.25" x 2.75" acrylic display case comes from the Brown Coal Open Pit in Zwenkau, Leipzig, Germany and features quartz druzy and the most fascinating detail that makes this wood not only beautiful but an important part of the fossil record, dating back 35 million years to the Jurassic period! Due to flooding, mining of this wood had to be stopped in 2021, and even if it were still intact (as it is not fully mineralized and still susceptible to the elements) it is now completely inaccessible, meaning no more will be able to be mined. Be sure to click the "Science and History" tab for more information about this amazing fossil!*Note - these fossils are adhered to their display case with an acid-free glue that can be carefully released with a little bit of heat, should you ever want to remove them. Do not use intense heat, as there is enough organic material in some of these to catch fire. A - 3" x .75"B - 2.25" x 1"C - 2.25" x 1"D - 2.5" x 1.5"
