Fossil shells Victorithyris garbaldiana Victoria Australia EA9264 Framed

Description: These two fossilized lamp shells, Victorithyris garbaldiana, are well-preserved specimens from the Early Miocene epoch, dating back approximately 18 to 23 million years. The larger of the two shells measures 2.3 cm by 2.0 cm with a thickness of 0.9 cm, and both fossils are housed in a protective floating frame for optimal display and preservation. This species, described by Davidson in 1862, represents an extinct lineage of brachiopods, marine organisms that once thrived in the shallow seas of the Miocene period. The fossils were collected from the Muddy Creek Marl formation in Hamilton, Victoria, Australia, a renowned locality for Miocene fossils. This geological formation is composed mainly of fine sediments, which allowed for the remarkable preservation of marine life, including these lamp shells. Their distinctive ridged structure is typical of the species, providing insight into their ecological role as filter feeders anchored to the seabed. Fossils like these offer a window into the marine ecosystems of the Miocene, a time when Earth's climate was warmer, and vast shallow seas covered parts of the Australian continent. The Victorithyris garbaldiana specimens are not only scientifically significant but also aesthetically striking, representing a bygone era of Earth's biological history
