Snakes<\/strong><\/em> are limbless carnivorous reptiles that belong to the order Squamata.<\/em> They appeared about 112 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, and are still alive today. They have elongated bodies covered with scales, and move by undulating. Most species are oviparous (lay eggs), but some are viviparous (give birth to live young). They are found on almost every continent, in a variety of habitats, from tropical forests to oceans and deserts. Snakes hunt prey using smell (using a forked tongue) and some species use venom for immobilization. They do not have movable eyelids or external ears, but they can detect vibrations.<\/p>\n

Fossils show that the first snakes still had vestigial limbs (remains of legs), a sign that they gradually evolved towards their current form, ideal for slithering through narrow spaces and silent hunting and adapted for an underground or aquatic life.<\/p>\n

Rare authentic fossilized snake egg Ophidenovum sp.<\/em> from France, about 50 million years old. These eggs were laid by snakes of the genus\u00a0Ophidenovum<\/em> on the shore of a lake from the Eocene period, having been discovered when the area became a quarry in our days. The egg is natural, it is not artificially colored and it is not carved. Some of the eggs of this type have mineralized into calcite following the fossilization process. The specimen is accompanied by a Certificate of authenticity<\/strong> signed by a professional geologist who appraised the specimen. A rare fossil, perfect for any collector and paleontology enthusiast!<\/p>\n

Due to its age, the specimen may have imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) which are perfectly normal and inevitable, but overall, it is in good condition. We invite you to carefully inspect the product photos to identify natural imperfections and any potential repairs to the specimen.<\/p>\n
