High-quality Campos such as this splendid specimen were recovered high in the mountains where their surfaces were not rusted away by ground water.

The value of high quality Campos is increasing as new specimens are becoming difficult to locate. Offered on a custom stand. Weighs 27.3 pounds (12.4kg); measures 9 x 8 x 5.5in
