Jimbacrinus Bostocki (Crinoid Fossil - Ordovician 488 million years)
This is a rare piece, mass mortality plate of Jimbacrinus bostocki crinoid fossils from Western Australia with over 8 individuals on it.
These crinoids are 3D and have a very alien appearance.
The plate is 32cm x 20cm and has been nicely prepared.
These Jimbacrinus crinoids are hard to acquire due to Australia's strict fossil export laws.
This specimen was exported legally during the 80's and was part of a collection for years before being recently re-prepared.
Dimensions: 36 cm x 36 cm x 15 cm
Weight: 8,6 Kg

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.
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.
Orthoceras column fossil, a captivating relic hailing from a time more than 400 million years ago. These prehistoric squid-like beings, preserved through eons within oceanic sediments, offer an unparalleled glimpse into the past. Elegantly aligned by primordial currents on the ocean floor prior to their entombment, these creatures maintain their relative positions, frozen in the embrace of time.
Skillfully revealed through meticulous exposure and a masterful polish, the fossils come to life against their matrix backdrop. The artful interplay of light and shadow accentuates the delicate features of these long-extinct cephalopods. With their tentacles and ink sacs, reminiscent of their modern-day squid counterparts, these creatures possessed a mystique that transcends eras. Notably, these cephalopods boasted external shells, characterized by hollow internal chambers partitioned by intricate walls known as septa, a fascinating trait shared by their kin.
Originating from the Devonian period approximately 410 million years in the past, this fossil bears witness to the eons that have passed, finding its origin amidst the rugged landscapes of the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Southern Morocco.
Pleuroceras solare - Pyritised Lower Jurassic Ammonite from Germany, mounted in an acrylic 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.
Crotalocephalus gibbus fossil Trilobite, a spectacular piece featuring a perfect dorsal view, still embedded in its original matrix. Skillfully prepared, this fossil is well preserved, 100% natural, and sandblasted with no restoration or added trilobite spines or paint.
Dating back to the Lower Devonian period, Landhar formation, Pragian stage (410 – 407 million years), this specimen was recovered from Aatchana, Errachidia Province, Morocco.
It is mounted on a black lacquered double wood base.
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.
Aioloceras besairiei Lower Cretaceous, Albian period (100,5 – 113,0 million years ) from Mahajanga, Madagascar, in a black lacquered wood base.
Beautiful twin Aioloceras ammonite with most of the original nacreous shell layers (mother of pearl) preserved. Both sides have been prepared.
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.
