Agatized Coral (AC1)
$74.00
These unique fossils are preserved corals that lived in large reef systems in Florida and Georgia about 34 million years ago. After the corals died, they were buried in deep sediments where the original corallite structures began to erode away. In some cases, this resulted in hollow cavities that were then coated in translucent agate, forming carnelian geodes. In others, the agate replaced the solids and retained images of the coral structures. We are the oldest and most experienced source for these unique fossils. Our teams have been SCUBA diving for these corals since the mid 1970s.
NOTE: This is a very nice cut and polished pair, mounted on another agatized coral that has a flat bottom. An attractive and informative display card accompanies the specimen.

NAME: Various species
AGE: Oligocene Epoch – 34 million years
