Product information "Rhynie Chert, polished slab, Devonian; GB-SCT- ca. 18x10 cm"
Unique specimen! Rarely are such large slabs found available for purchase.
Slightly polished with many individual features, see detailed photos.
Locally occurring Rhynie Chert is a freshwater sediment formed where rivers and ponds made contact with hydrothermal vents, silicifying their deposits. This resulted in a highly detailed conservation of plants and in some cases arthropods.
As a result, Rhynie is a very important site both for invertebrate palaeontology and for early vascular plants such as Rhynia, Aglaophyton, Horneophyton and Asteroxylon. The preservation of mycorrhizal fungi and lichens such as Winfrenatia reticulata is also excellent.
Often preserved down to the cellular level, these fossils allow a detailed study of the organisms and their ecology.
Rhynie Chert is the first known terrestrial ecosystem and remains a key area for the study of early land inhabitation.
