The Fossil Rock ‘M’ combines an uncommon pipe-making material with an unusually pronounced surface treatment.

Bog oak, also called morta, is ancient timber preserved in oxygen-poor, waterlogged environments. Over long periods, chemical reactions involving tannins and minerals produce the characteristic dark colour. Unlike petrified wood, bog oak retains its wooden structure and can be worked into functional objects.

On this Talamona, the bowl and much of the shank are covered in closely spaced, irregular grooves. Their direction follows the contours of the pipe, creating a layered appearance with substantial tactile depth. A smooth section near the stem carries the Talamona and Fossil markings.

The grey marbled acrylic mouthpiece introduces a contrasting polished surface, separated from the shank by a narrow metallic accent. The pipe is configured for 9mm filters.

Talamona was established by Cesare Talamona in the 1970s. Paolo Croci acquired the brand in 2007 and resumed limited production in 2010, maintaining its emphasis on individually crafted Italian pipes.
