Come boxed and labelled. NB - The Echinoids you will receive won't be these exact one, but VERY similar in size and appearance and all measure roughly 2cm across
EVIDENCE OF THE IMPACT THAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS!!!
This is a very difficult item to categorise, but I have had to find a section. This is a boxed set containing 2 pieces of rock from the legendary KT Boundary. As anyone who knows their geology and palaentology will know, is the rock layer that is thought to mark the point at which the Dinosaurs were destroyed by a HUGE meteorite impact. These samples come from the Upper Cretaceous Period of Trochu, Alberta - Canada.
This is a super and very large fossil Belemnite.Belemnites aren't a rare or valuable fossil, but they are a very popular and well collected fossil for UK collectors.if a novice has collected a fossil from a beach or quarry, it will usually be either an Ammonite or a Belemnite.These I have to offer are far larger than the normal Belemnites you would collect.They were collected in the Midlands in England and date from.You won't receive this exact fossil pictured, but another VERY similar in size and appearance.I have a large box of these and they vary very little,other than very slight size differences.The Belemnite you will receive will measure at least 6cm long.These are large fat fossils and WELL worth what I am asking for them.
Come bagged and labelled.
This auction is for 2 boxed pieces of genuine fossil Turtle shell.
These chunks were collected in the Isle Of Wight, England. I can't confirm the exact type of Turtle bone you will receive.
There are various types, but can confirm these are both genuine and really intriguing.
You will receive 2 pieces, each measuring roughly 2cm in a padded, labelled plastic box. They won't be the exact ones pictured but VERY similar in appearance and size.
This is a superb chunk of genuine Dinosaur Bone.The bone is from an Iguanadon, probably the most famous and popular of all the UK found Dinosaurs.The fossils were collected from the beach in the Isle Of Wight and have been worn by the action of the sea.This has a positive action as it has helped reveal the cellular nature of the bone material.The chunk you will receive will be one of the chunks pictured.They are all VERY similar in size and appearance.They all measure roughly 5cm across
Guaranteed Genuine
Cyanobacteria OncoidsLismore LimestoneIslay - ScotlandPrecambrian - DaldradianThis is an amazing fossil.Not much to look at, though it has an intriguing pattern on the surface.The slice of Stromatolite measures 1.2cm across and is boxed in a padded gem jar and labelled professionally.A rare and mysterious part of our VERY early history.
All fossils collectors should have at least one Stromatolite in their collection as in the story of life on Earth - they are EXTREMELY important.they are one of the very first life forms on Earth, and contributed much of the oxygen to the atmosphere, making it habitable for higher lifeforms ( including man!)It could be that without Stromatolites there could not have been life as we know it!
This is a small but rare type of Stromatolite and is from Western Australia.It is from an old collection and when the material is gone, there will be NO more. EVER.When you realise that this fossil is nearly a BILLION years old it seems such a good price to allow you to own and hold it!
VERY COLLECTABLE!
These fossils were collected by one of the most respected fossil collectors in the UK - and also a published author on UK fossils.They are the result of MANY, MANY months of collecting.Unlike Moroccan fossils for example, UK fossils like these just aren't easy to find.It is the result of many hours of searching, cleaning and sorting through mud and clay.When these collections are sold, it is unlikely I will have any more of this material to offer.All the fossils are bagged and labelled and would make a FANTASTIC addition to any fossil collection.
Venice Beach, Florida, is known for fossil shark teeth but there are many other fossils that are found in this area.

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!12cmIt 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.

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!
