JURASSIC CORAL - Tisbury, Wiltshire
« backJURASSIC FOSSIL CORAL
150 million years old
TIsbury, Wiltshire
A lovely polished example of the classic Tisbury coral (polished on all sides).
The beautiful fossil corals from Tisbury in Wiltshire are unique because they have been silicified (preserved by quartz). The rock therefore takes a beautiful polish which reveals the intricate detail of the coral polyps.
These corals only occur the Jurassic Portland Beds of the Tisbury area and are highly collectable.
