Entomology Sci-fi Creature - Small desk pet made of steel and sea shell
This particular Galactic Fossil is a small, hand-forged object that imagines life from a timeline far removed from our own. Inspired by speculative paleontology, this steel-and-shell creature sculpture evokes the lost biology of a distant world — perhaps one orbiting a dying star or buried beneath the crust of a frozen moon.
The form suggests a fusion between prehistoric marine life and a retro-futuristic insect, preserved mid-motion as though fossilized by time and atmosphere. Its rough steel exoskeleton is contrasted by soft, pale shell textures — an unlikely pairing that conjures themes of survival, mimicry, and alien adaptation.
This object is part science fiction, part artifact. Whether placed in a tattoo studio, a new goth interior, or a collector’s cabinet of sci-art curiosities, it adds a mysterious presence to any space. A tangible echo of a lifeform that never was, yet feels strangely familiar.
