Heterometrus laoticus - Vietnam Forest Scorpion is a scorpion species found in peaty areas of Vietnam and Laos. They can reach lengths of up to 17 cm. They are a communal species, but cannibalism has been known to occur, and if caught, they can be extremely violent even towards their own kind.
Rather than being a lethal toxin, the giant scorpion's venom is paralytic. The venom is distilled into medicines against various kinds of microorganisms. It exhibits good results in disc diffusion assay for Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus, among others.
The scorpion is farmed for consumption as a novelty food in Vietnam and Thailand. They are also used to make snake wine (scorpion wine).

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.

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.

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.
