Description

  • Dim. de la gangue : 52 cm x 19 cm ; fossile : 40,50 cm
Le requin est vu de profil sur une gangue de couleur crème. Les nageoires montrant une belle disposition. Ce fossile établissant l'immortalité de ce spécimen dans la pierre est aussi un signal d'alarme pour les requins du monde entier mis à mal par l'humanité et qui ne pourraient bientôt survivre dans nos mémoires que par l'existence de ces fossiles qui émaillent les collections de curiosités des grands amateurs d'Art.
