Perisphinctes sp. Ammonite from late Jurassic Period (160 million years), mounted in a exotic Tacula wood base.
Beautiful natural composition, from Sakahara fields in Southwestern Madagascar.
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!
A superb Scyphocrinites elegans in a rose marble base.
A One of a Kind piece, from Permian period (358 to 419 million years) of Erfoud - Morocco, an extinct genus of crinoid Camarocrinus.
Beautiful fossil slabs colors and pattern made an extraordinary decor piece.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Epimayaites transiens ( Ammonite ) Pair in acrylic base.
A beautiful pair of this elusive fossil specimen from the Madagascar Upper Jurassic ( +/- 170 million years ) very good aperture details.
A good collection starter.
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.
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.
Pleuroceras solare - Pyritised Lower Jurassic Ammonite from Germany, mounted in a black high gloss 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.
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.
