Fossil sea urchin - Pseudocidaris mammosa (AGASSIZ, 1840).
Excellent fossil of a sea urchin. The sea urchin and the spines finest details have been preserved and have been carefully arranged in position of life.
The radiolas preserve the original coloring patterns, worthy of a museum specimen!
Sea urchin with 10 cm spines, from Upper Jurassic, Kimmeridgian (152.1-157.3 million years) - France.
Displayed in a brass handmade stand.
Superb, unbroken slab filled with wonderful naturally occurring orthoceras fossils that was once part of the prehistoric ocean floor over 400 million years ago.
As these forms of prehistoric squid were covered in ocean sediments prior to fossilization, the majority of the creatures will be facing in the same relative position, having been lined up by currents on the sea floor prior to being buried.
The fossils are exposed and given a high polish to better view the creatures from their surrounding matrix. The slab features very high relief as well as dramatic texture and detail they had tentacles and ink sacs, much like present-day squid.
Except for belemnites, cephalopods had external shells with hollow internal chambers separated by walls called septa.
Devonian period, circa 410 million years, Anti-Atlas Mountains - Southern Morocco.
A huge, beautiful coloured Douveilliceras mammilatum from the Albian period, Upper Cretaceous (110 million years) of Mahajanga Province - Madagascar.
A perfect piece for decor, mounted in a handmade wood base.
Cleoniceras besairiei ammonite fossil. It hails from the Mesozoic era, specifically the Middle Cretaceous Albian period, dating back approximately 100 million years. What sets this specimen apart is not only its colossal size but also its stunning coloration and intricate suture lines. It is a complete, unaltered piece, making it an exceedingly rare find.
This treasure from the past was carefully excavated, meticulously cleaned, and expertly polished in Tulear, Madagascar, a region renowned for its remarkable paleontological discoveries.
Carcharodon Megalodon (Megalodon meaning “Big Tooth”) is an extinct species of shark regarded as one of the largest and most powerful predators in vertebrate history.
This beast lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago, during the Cenozoic Era. Fossil remains suggest that this giant shark reached a length of 18 metres (59 ft), from USA.
Displayed in a glass box made to measure.
Cleoniceras besairiei (Collignon, 1949), cut and polished pair. They are lovely specimens that show the individual chambers of the Ammonite in great detail with all interior cristalized. They are from the Lower Cretaceous – Albian period (100 – 115 million years) from Mitsinjo, near Majunga.
Think of the Ammonite spirals as a filter, drawing in these dense energies which are no longer needed, moving them through the spirals and releasing them as fresh, positive, loving life force energies. The Ammonite is a very powerful earth healing fossil.
Ammonites are often used for activating Kundalini and life path energies. It is often recommended to keep an Ammonite in your home to attract health, prosperity and success.
Madagascar Copal Amber with leaves and insects in a handmade brass base.
Amber is a substance derived from resins (Fossil Resin) of trees and plants that, buried for millions of years, underwent into a fossilization process.
These resins produced by plants acted as protection against the action of bacteria and against the attack of insects that punctured the bark until reaching the interior of the trees.
Over millions of years, amber-forming organic substances ended up forming a hardened, weather-resistant resin.
Vasum Locklini - a Turbinellidae from the Caenozoic period (around 3 million years) from Florida - USA.
Always a beautiful intricate shell, mounted in a black lacquered wood base.
Side table with petrified wood and three double handmade brass legs.
Top of the table is a slice of petrified tree - Araucaria species with 220 million years from Early Triassic period, with beautiful pattern and very dark color.
It comes from the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar.
One of a kind piece.

Diplomystus Dentatus fish from the Paleogene, Eocene, 53.500,000 to 48.500,000 years.
An ancestor of the herring family, a very finely boned fish which is extremely difficult to prepare from the Lagerstätte varve layer of the Eocene limestones of the Green River formation 18-inch layer.
These predator fish came from the prehistoric fossil lakes. The lower Eocene deposits of Green River formation was thought to be a large freshwater lake. The calcite would be absorbed by the remains of the fish, transforming their bones into a hard mineralized deposit in the slightly softer and lighter colored limestone shales.
Mounted in a handmade brass frame that can be fixed in three different ways.

Acanthoceras ammonites from Madagascar, a beautiful block with two achantoceras from Cenomanian (100-94 million years old), with a great shape and colors, well cleaned and prepared.
This is an extinct species of cephalopod genus, an ammonite in the family of Acanthoceratidae.
One of a Kind piece!
This beautiful ammonite is a Jurassic Cleoniceras from Madagascar that preserves part of the original mother-of-pearl iridescent shell.
The Ammonite doesn't have any gluing work, the fracture lines on the shell are internal and do not affect the integrity of the fossil.
Araucaria trunk piece from the famous Ambilobe Petrified forest in Madagascar.
These are formations from the Triassic period with around 220 million years.
Mounted in an acrylic base is a beautiful historic piece!
