Opalized Cleoniceras group

Outstanding slab with three Gigantopecten restitutensis fossil from Vaucluse quarry in S.E. France.

Lower Miocene (Burdigalien) around 20 to 16 million years.

Very well prepared and clean.

Acantoceras 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 extinc species of cephalopod genus, an ammonite in the family of Acanthoceratidae.

One of a Kind 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.

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

Spectacular big size opalized Cleoniceras group with other ammonite specie.

One of a kind decor piece!

Amber is a substance derived from resins (Fossil Resin) of trees and plants that, buried for millions of years, underwent 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.

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. 

A great echinoderm Blastoide, from East Timor Permic beds, in an exotic tecula wood base.

Deltablastus permicus in matrix, from the Permiam period (circa 250 million years).

Carcharocles megalodon - Neogen - Miocene, Burdigalian (15.97 - 20.44 million years) - Indonesia.

A large and superb tooth, with a wonderful colouration, as characterise the megalodon of Indonesia. 

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. 

Ammonite sliced - Cristal clusters - mounted on a handmade brass stand. 

Aioloceras besairie (>140mm) Lower Cretaceous, Albian (100.5–113.0 million years), from Mahajanga, Madagascar.

These ammonite sliced in two parts has been polished for showing the breathtaking inside colors and patterns. 

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.

Stunning ammonite with red opalization on the surface, in a white lacquered wood base.. Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resemble the squid we know today.

These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. Ammonites are closely related to a living octopus, though the shells resemble that of a nautilus.

Every stone is unique and one of a kind. These fossils come from the Mahajanga River Basin, near the village of Ambatolafia of northwest Madagascar, located in the former province of Mahajanga/Majunga. They are dated from the Early Cretaceous period, Albian age (100 to 113.0 million years ago).

Mosasaurs (from Latin Mosa meaning the 'Meuse', and Greek σαύρος sauros meaning 'lizard') comprise a group of extinct, large marine reptiles from the Late Cretaceous. They belong to the order Squamata, which includes lizards and snakes. They were the dominant marine predators. 

They became extinct as a result of the K-Pg event at the end of the Cretaceous period, about 66 million years ago.

This one was found in the Oulad Abdoun Basin of Morocco and dates from about 75 million years ago.

Beautifully mounted in a black lacquered wood base.

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.

Olenus sp. ( Trilobite ) a twin specimen in matrix, in a black granite base, from Marroco.

Big size specimen from the Devonian period ( 400/350 million years ), for collectors but also a great decor piece. 

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

Spectacular big size opalized Cleoniceras group with other ammonite specie.
