This rare nummulitic limestone was collected from Eocene strata in Soissons, Aisne, France. Nummulites are a type of Foraminifera however they can be large enough to see with the naked eye and some grow up to 5 cm in diameter. Nummulites Laevigatus is a species which grows to be particularly large. They are lenticular in shape and are easily recognisable due to their abundant coils which are punctuated by septa.
