Lune River Fern Trunk Fossil Pendant ready for the Mesozoic Jewellery & Art Exhibition to be held at The Goldsmiths Gallery, San Remo Victoria as part of the Creative Gippsland Arts Festival opening this Saturday! My creation is made of two species of Lune River fern trunk, imprints of fossil shell from the late Carboniferous period and texturing from Jurassic Dolorite Rock. All four from Tasmania! It will be accompanied by the book Lune River Fossil Fern Trunks By Ross Jones. Ross has been very generous in sharing his wealth of knowledge with me at the lapidary club. I was very fortunate to buy these fossils he found in the 80’s, the top one he has named after his wife OSMUNDACAULIS Janii. The big one is called OSMUNDACAULIS Pruchnickii. I cut and polished the two fossils especially for this exhibition! I’m so excited about it@goldsmithsgallery #fossils #luneriver #luneriverferntrunkfossil #ferntrunkfossil #petrified #mesozoic #jurassic #carboniferous #handcrafted #madeintasmania #tasmanianjewellery #handcraftedjewellery #geology #prehistoric #osmundicaulis
