Beautiful natural composition, from Sakahara fields in Southwestern Madagascar. 

Madagascar Copal Amber with leaves and insects, mounted in a handmade dark 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.

It is very well prepared and clean, a "one of a kind" piece!

Handmade brass display with three Opalized Ammonites from Madagascar fields, Albian Period (100–140 million years old). When opalized can be also called as Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found in various placed in the North America and Madagascar. Ammolite is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite. The microstructure of the mineral is inherited from the shell.

It is one of few biogenic gemstones. Other more commonly known biogenic gemstones include amber and pearl. Ammolite was officially recognised as gemstone species in 1981. Ammolite “opalization” is a term used to express the similarity between the two minerals due to the spectrum of colours it displays. Usually red and green, whilst, blue or purple are rare due to the latter's fragility.

A unique One of a Kind signature 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.

Beautiful twin Aioloceras ammonite with most of the original nacreous shell layers (mother of pearl) preserved. Both sides have been prepared. 

Fossil sea urchin - Gymnocidaris koechlini - Excellent fossil of a sea urchin in life position.

The sea urchin and the spines finest details have been preserved and have been carefully arranged in position of life. The spines preserves the original colouring patterns. Sea urchin with 10 cm spicules - from medium Jurassic, Bajociano (168.3-170.3 million years), Boulemane, Morocco.

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.
