Aioloceras besairiei - Sliced

Madagascar Copal Amber with leaves and insects

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.

Pleuroceras solare - Pyritised Lower Jurassic Ammonite from Germany, mounted in a black lacquered wood base.

A pyritised ammonite, which has been brass brushed to enhance the golden colour.

Hawskerense Subzone, Spinatum Zone, Middle Lias, Lower Jurassic, Butterheim, Germany Age:- 190 Million Years Old Ammonite. 

Nicaisolopha nicaisei from Upper Cretaceous of Cajamarca Peru, mounted in a white lacquered wood base.

Natural, unbroken slab filled with wonderful naturally occurring orthoceras fossils that was once part of the prehistoric ocean floor over 400 million years ago, in a rose marble base.

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 in their natural surrounding matrix. The slab features normal relief as well as dramatic natural 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, ca. 410 million years, Anti-Atlas Mountains - Southern Morocco.

Coelacanth Devonian Fossil Nodule

This is a nicely preserved, Lower Triassic (247 million year old) Coelacanth fossil from the Karoo Formation of Madagascar.

It is preserved inside of a concretion that has been broken open (perfect two halfs) with great measure.

There are many different types of fossil fish found in these nodules, but the Coelacanths are one of the rarer components of the fauna.

Incredible detail including fins, scales and the bony head structure.

Exceptional piece mounted in a natural marble vertical display. 

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!

Cretaceous Albian period (100 to 145 million years), from Madagascar.

Spectacular giant opalized Cleoniceras besairiei group with other ammonite species.

Fabulous display and decorative.

One of a kind piece!

Polished Orthoceras slab fossil with over 400 million years.

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 - mounted in a black granite base. 

Turridae and Cancellaridae species fossil in matrix from the Pliocene period ( 5 to 2 million years ) of Cacela - Portugal, in an acrylic base.

Ammonite sliced with beautiful crystal clusters inside the chambers, from Mahajanga, Madagascar.

Displayed in a marble vertical stand, this ammonite in two parts has been polished for showing the breathtaking inside colors and patterns.

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 a granite base is a beautiful historic piece!

Cretolamna Aschersoni in matrix, in acrylic base.

Beautiful Lamna Aschersoni shark teeth in their natural matrix, from Cretaceous era (66.0–145.0 million years) - Oued Zem – Morocco.
