a massive cluster of fossil cephalopods - Fossilised...

ALBIAN BLOCK A composition of cephalopod mollusks dating back about 60-70 million years, when the terrible impact of an asteroid on Earth marked the end of the Cretaceous–Paleogene period. The natural scenario that followed signified the end of many terrestrial life forms but also profoundly involved the marine ecosystem. The asteroid's devastating impact on Earth had among its gravest consequences the formation of numerous anomalous waves that gathered shells of cephalopod mollusks on beaches and among rocks. Looking at this composition one cannot help but be fascinated by its distinctive purple iridescence. Suggestive. A true sculpture, to be observed from every angle and capable of conveying unique emotions and impressions. A timeless design piece that will never go unnoticed, an object that will make any wunderkammer unique… an auction item absolutely worth conquering. A necessary clarification. The final image of our photographic gallery is obtained with the help of AI software. The aim is purely aesthetic but also illustrational: it shows the real object within an artificially generated scenography. The goal is to show how precious the auction objects are and how well they perform in different, all highly refined environments. Thank you for your attention. Happy bidding.
