This beautiful septarian egg from Madagascar shows its interior crystallization in contrast with exterior colors.
Septarias are prehistoric marine nodules of bio sedimentary origin followed by dehydration during diagenesis, which today are found as large pebbles in clay soil. The creation of a Septarian is a succession of events along millions years, they form around a core of organic matter (plant or animal).
Sediments continue to settle on the nodule, compacting it under their weight which will flatten it and expel water, while inside micro-cracks begin to form, amplified by tectonic movements. It is in these shrinkage slots that over time dissolved minerals will crystallize.
Its name comes from the Latin "septum" which means partition, barrier, indeed, the polishing of the nodule reveals and sublimates its elegant marbling of black calcite, millions of years that offer these sumptuous minerals, each piece is unique!

The Mako Shark (Isurus sp.) exhibits remarkable variations in both shortfin and longfin species. The shortfin mako can grow up to 4 meters in length and weigh a staggering 570 kg. Adult specimens typically measure around 2.5 to 3.2 meters in length and weigh between 135 and 230 kg. This species displays sexual dimorphism, with females generally being larger than males.
The longfin mako shark closely resembles its shortfin counterpart, but possesses distinct characteristics such as larger pectoral fins, dark coloration around the mouth, and larger eyes. Shortfin makos are commonly found in offshore temperate and tropical seas across the globe, while the closely related longfin makos are typically observed in the Gulf Stream or warmer offshore waters like New Zealand and Maine.
These pelagic creatures inhabit depths ranging from the surface to 150 meters, often far from the shore but occasionally venturing closer to islands, inlets, or coastal areas. Notably, the Mako Shark is one of the few known endothermic shark species, capable of maintaining a body temperature higher than the surrounding water. It tends to avoid waters colder than 16°C.
While recorded human encounters with Mako Sharks are rare, it's important to note that large specimens can pose a potential threat. Exercise caution and respect when observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
This particular specimen hails from the waters of Madagascar and is expertly mounted on a base crafted from black lacquered wood. Embrace the captivating allure of this Mako Shark specimen, an extraordinary addition to any collection or decor project.
