The fossils were found in a stone layer we call “Fossil Lake Classic”, part of the famous 18″ stone layer, a sediment layer known for providing exceptionally high-quality fossils.The mural is finished with a handmade Wenge wood frame and is backed in wood with a built-in French cleat. This mural ships in a custom wood crate, fully insured against loss or damage.
