Up for bid is this HUGE rare specimen of Calamites wood or also known as Giant Horse Tail. THIS PIECE IS HUGE! It measures 6.5 inches by 4.5 inches! It probably weighs 2-3 pounds. I have used a sharpie marker in the photos to give you a sense of scale. The formation patter of the bark makes this a very scarce find. The formation is a perfect elbow L shape. I have never seen another piece of calamites to naturally make this formation before. The details in the fossil are truly amazing. The rib pattern is very distinctive and extremely detailed and you can see each individual growth seem of the plant. It is in perfect condtion with no repairs of any kind!Another attractive charteristic of this fossil is the shape of the rock. It is very nicely rounded forming a beautiful half sp when put side by side. This is truly a beautiful top quality fossil, I have spent a great deal of time cleaning and preparing the fossil so please bid accordingly.
