Asset Overview

A block of sandstone containing numerous cone-shaped shell fossils, which look similar to unicorn horns. They are 60-64 million years old, and therefore date from a time soon after the extinction of the dinosaurs. This model was constructed from photographs of a real specimen from Mitchell's Rocks, New Zealand, using the program Agisoft Metashape.
