Fossil Coral Awesome Colony Thecosmilia trichotoma Nattheim Fm Germany COA 3502

Description

Here is an absolutely fantastic little colony of a very cool group of fossil coral. Called Thecosmilia trichotoma, they lived in the late Jurassic, about 150 million years ago.
The specimen is about 2.3 inches across. It was found in the Nattheim Formation of Germany.  It is extremely eye-catching. The genus is now extinct.
We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity).  Some words of caution about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, tied to that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any fish fossil.  We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject.

COMBINED SHIPPING:  If you are in the process of buying multiple items from us, use the “Add to Cart” box, rather than buy them separately.  When you are ready to buy all the items in the cart, ask for an invoice from the seller (us).  We will calculate the best shipping price we can give you for all the items together, and send you an invoice reflecting any shipping savings to you.   We will do our best to combine purchases to save shipping costs. In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not so much.  Our items are of vastly different sizes and weights, but we do not use shipping as a profit center.
On shipments with values of 0 or more, a signature will be required.
We will ship this only to the United States.  We are not responsible if the buyer reships it somewhere else, after receiving it from us. Our responsibility ends at the destination we ship it to.  If you take it out of the United States, you are on your own.

Failure to contact us within 72 hours of receipt of item, voids this offer. Buyer is responsible for all return shipping charges.   Item must arrive to us in same condition as buyer received it (check photos in original description), or the return offer is voided.
Damage:   If your item arrives damaged, please contact us within 24 hours of receiving as we will be happy to resolve any issue.  Buyer must contact us within 24 hours of receipt of item to claim damage in shipping.
With this type of specimen, a tiny amount of it may break off in shipping, but not enough to alter the beauty of the piece. I wrap it very carefully in multiple layers of wrap. If that is not acceptable to you, please do not order.
