This might be one of the most unusual fossils you have seen.
It is essentially a fully formed, fossilised Piece of  Poo from a marine reptile.
The Coprolite was found in Madagascar and is from the Eocene era - 55 Million years old!-
While the smell may have faded over the last 55 Million years other than that it still looks pretty much the same as the day it was produced!
12cm
It is very heavy as it is partially turned to metal!

Mammoths must be one of the most famous of all the extinct animals.
While not having the excitement and glamour of a Dinosaur the size and appearance of them is always very impressive.
I have been selling Mammoth material on Ebay for several years and it is always really popular.

This is a good sized flat piece from the outer coating of a Woolly Mammoth tusk.
From it's size you can guess at how big the full tusk would have been!

The tusk piece measures 17cm long and 6cm across. It is is 5mm thick  

This and many other Mammoth fossils were found in the North Sea between England and Holland.
There was land in this space little more than 6000 years ago so fossils are often dredged up by fisherman in the sea.

This is a super new item.
It is crafted in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco where it was found.
The plate is skillfully handcrafted to show off the two Orthoceras fossils within the dark rock matrix.
The Orthoceras was a long squid-like creature that lived 400 Million years ago in the seas that now make up the Mooccan mountains..

The matrix measures  from top to bottom - 15cm across and would make a stunning ornament on any shelf or desk

This is a lovely fossil.
The Goniatite is very similar to an Ammonite.
It was an shelled aquatic creature and lived in the seas roughly 300 million years ago.

The Goniatite is nicely polished and measures 5.5cm across.

It would make a super gift for any fossil fan.

This is a Mosasaur tooth
The Mosasaur was an early crocodile type marine reptile from the late Cretaceous.
You will receive one of the pictured teeth.
They all have lovely shiny enamel enamel with super colouration.
A few of the teeth have slight damage, but this is common with these fragile teeth.
The tooth will come in a padded gem jar and is a super little fossil.

Gorgeous colouration in this fossilised wood.

This super chunk of petrified wood is highly polished - which brings out the wide range of bright colours within the stone and also makes the original layered texture of the wood visible.

Measures 4x3cm

 Strange and unusual echinoid

This is a very odd echinoid and while it's a truly fascinating fossil I really can't tell you a great deal about it.

While most echinoids are easily described and are basically the same as modern sea urchins - this is more of an oddity and has a bizarre flattened shape which then has protruding fingers like a starfish...!

It comes from Senegal in Africa and is approx 5 million years old.

If you know more about it  please let me know!

 This is a superb large fossilised fish
It is  from a sought after Chinese Fossil site -Jianghanicthys
20 Million Years old

The fish itself measures 9.5cm long and the mudstone matrix  - 11cm
