ce séduisant ensemble montre la juxtaposition, aussi rare qu'élégante, d'adultes coquilles Saint-Jacques avec des bébés. La fossilisation des pièces est fine et la préparation en trois dimensions des fossiles montre une foule de détails structurels. La pièce est présentée sur une base qui permet de la disposer sur une console ou sur tout meuble d'appui. Curieusement dans l'histoire de ces fossiles, on se plait à indiquer que le lieu d'extraction de ces curiosités naturelles, se trouve fort près du Château du légendaire Marquis de Sade (parfait état).
This elegant set shows a rare natural juxtaposition of scallops with babies. It looks like an Arman from modern times, it proceeded from a random accumulation of large shells, forming this present sculptural work. The fossilization of the pieces is fine and the 3D fossil preparation shows a crowd of structural detail. The piece presented here on a base so one can settle it on a console or on a piece of furniture. Curiously in the history of fossils we enjoy indicating the natural curiosities' sites of extraction, this piece was found near the Chateau of the legendary Marquis de Sade (lovely fossilization and perfect condition).
