The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

In very good condition, noting as with all of these pectens from the formation, the limestone matrix is relatively young and can be prone to light crumbling, this will not affect the aesthetics nor value of the piece.
