A moment of life frozen in eternity
Imagine the semi-arid plains of Madagascar, 70 million years ago. The Majungasaurus crenatissimus, the island’s apex superpredator and distant cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex, reigns supreme.
This is no ordinary fossil: it is a rare ichnofossil that captures a precise moment of prehistoric life. Thanks to exceptional mineralization, this coprolite (fossilized excrement) has endured through the ages to reveal the secrets of the diet of a Cretaceous titan.
At the heart of its dense, 210-gram matrix, bone and tooth fragments are clearly visible to the naked eye.
A true window opening onto the meal of a giant.
Collector's Item
Presented under an elegant dome on a patinated wooden base with a transparent acrylic stand allowing for 360° display, this piece is ready to be integrated into the finest cabinets of curiosities or contemporary interiors seeking a unique and powerful conversation piece.
Positive UV test revealing a bone phosphate inclusion.
Gallery aesthetic: Exceptional texture, high density, and visible bone inclusions.
The opinion of Galerie POPINCOURT
This piece was selected for its remarkable density, preserved texture, and above all for this central fluorescent zone of approximately 2 mm.
Exceptional rarity: unlike bones, coprolites document the actual behavior and diet of dinosaurs. A holy grail for any enlightened collector.
Increasing heritage value: Fossils from the Maevarano Formation are now strictly regulated. Their availability on the international market is constantly decreasing.
