ANJC 3630
For the archeology enthusiasts – this is a large Trilobite fossil which roamed the ocean floors during the Ordovician period, around over 485 million years ago, found in the Silurian sediments of the USA, mostly in New York & Oklahoma. The closest living relative is the horseshoe crab. Please note that this particular specimen may have come out in two pieces from the ground so it was repaired and restored by my source - - you can see where it’s been pieced together. The fossil is connected to a copper ring. I coated the back side with resin to make it smooth; I left the front as is and will have rough edges, so caution handling it.
The fossil is suspended on red (dyed) Coral sticks
Hand-knotted strand of tan Howlite/Magnesite coins with red seed beads in between
This beauty weighs 5.85 oz (for reference, a standard can of soda/pop weighs 12 oz)
Closure is a seed bead and vintage button toggle
Overall length end-to-end: approx 20 inches, add 5-inch pendant drop
When on, nape to chest: approx 10 inches, add pendant drop
Trilobite fossil: approx 78x50x25 mm
Coral sticks: approx 51x10 mm
Howlite/Magnesite coins: approx 2-5 x 10-16 mm
