Fossil Foraminifera Nummulites laevigatus – Eocene Cuisian Stage, Aisne Valley France – Genuine with COA
Presenting an exquisite fossil specimen of the foraminifera Nummulites laevigatus, a prehistoric marine microorganism from the Eocene epoch. This fossil dates specifically to the Cuisian stage and was discovered in the Aisne Valley near Soissons, France – an area renowned for its well-preserved Paleogene fossils.
Nummulites are large, lenticular foraminifera that thrived in warm shallow seas around 50 million years ago. Their intricate calcareous shells, composed of numerous chambers, are highly prized by both amateur and professional collectors for their scientific importance and distinctive, coin-like appearance (from which the genus gets its name, derived from "nummulus," Latin for "little coin").
