Gastropod fossils from Morocco, these high quality specimens exhibit the coiled morphology of the shell, they are from the Cretaceous period, making them between 145 to 65 million years old and likely died out during the Cretaceous/Tertiary extinction event, which also killed of the dinosaurs. The shells are approx 10 mm in size and are excellent for educational use or to put into kits of packs, they have been washed and are available in optional weights, the pieces will come supplied in a bag with a label. Ideal for economical purchasing.

Larvikite is an igneous plutonic rock and variant of monzonite from Larvik, Norway, due to its chemistry, it is composed mainly of orthoclase, albite and anorthite along with plagioclase which gives the rock a blue to silver shimmering effect. The igneous pluton formed during the Permian period, 292 – 298 million years ago during the the Variscan orogeny. A beautiful rock to observe due to its coarse crystalline texture and schiller effect, the samples are ideal for general interest, collectors and educational use with specimens being available in three sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
We also supply Syenite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

• Geological Age: Silurian period, 443 to 416 millions years old
• Location: Djebel Issoumour, Alnif, Morocco
• Family: Echinoderm
• Species: Crinoid
Crinoid stem fossils collected from Djebel Issoumour, Alnif, Morocco. These fossil specimens from the Silurian period, exhibit the segmented nature of crinoid stems, varying between 30 to 60 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter, the samples are supplied in optional weights, making them perfect where a certain amount is needed for an economical costs, such as for schools, kits and more. The samples will come supplied in a bag with a data label.
Star Crinoid stems, collected from Morocco. These excellent fossil specimens show the stems of crinoids, a species of echinoderms, similar to brittle stars and star fish from the Silurian period. They show the segments which make up the stem very well, with each segment measuring approximately 1cm in length. Crinoid stems are a useful zoning fossil, these samples are supplied by weight, ideal for educational use, kits, packs and more, where a quantity of them may be required without costing too much. These crinoid stems are an example of a species called pentacrinites, and display a unique star shape. Collected from Morocco, the pieces will come supplied in a polythene bag with a label.
Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass derived from a rapidly cooled high silica lava. Often associated with the margins of Rhyolitic lava flows. It has little or no discernable crystalline structure. Specimens are supplied in a polythene bag in lots of 1 kg with a label.
• Geological Age: Ordovician period, 488 to 420 millions years old
• Location: Erfoud, Morocco
• Family: Cephalapod
• Species: Orthoceras fluminense
Orthoceral fossil specimens from the limestone deposits located in Erfoud, Morocco, these samples which are Ordovician in age, over 400 million years old, echibit morphological details of the cephalapods shells very well, the separate segments can easily be seen and are between 3 to 6 cm in size and an off white colour. Available by weight, ideal for teaching use, the pieces will come supplied in a bag with a label.
Branching coral specimens, dated from the Devonian period, the species is known as thamnopora and belong to the tabulate form of these now extinct species. They clearly depict the colonial nature of this type, the small ‘pits’ on the surface of the coral, would have, during life, been hole, within which the coral polyps resided, emerging to feed, mate and more and retreating inside when potential danger was present. The samples were collected from the Western Sahara region of Morocco, available by weight, the pieces rang in size from 30 mm to 60 mm and come supplied in a polythene bag with an information label. Ideal for kits, sets, craft and educational use, where a numerous pieces may be required for an economical cost.
Snowflake obsidian is quite striking in appearance. It is characterised by the inclusion of radially clustered crystals of cristobalite, which when viewed at a glance, appear like snowflakes on the surface of the rock. These crystal clusters are set in an otherwise black vitreous matrix of obsidian, which is an naturally occurring volcanic glass, even exhibiting a conchoidal fracture. Cristobalite is a high temperature polymorph of silica, it can form as a result of the devitrification of the obsidian. These specimens come from Java, Indonesia and are supplied in card trays, sizes which are optional, each tray also has a small data label supplied.
We also supply Snowflake Obsidian thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
Stunning peridotite thin section exhibiting the bright and beautiful colours of olivine and pyroxene punctuated by relatively abundant plagioclase. Peridotite is a dense, coarse grained, ultramafic igneous rock consisting largely of olivine and pyroxene.

• Geological Age: Late Devonian period, 372 – 358 million years old
• Location: Alnif, Morocco
• Species: Various species.
Various goniatite fossil specimens from Alnif, Morocco, supplied by weight with various options available, these hematite stained red fossils show clear suture lines, chambers and coils, they are supplied in whole and partial pieces varying between 10 to 15 mm in size. Dated to the late Devonian period, 372.2 million years ago to 358.9 million years ago these fossils were found in what is now Alnif, Morocco, an area more known for it’s dessert and heat. However, during the late Devonian period, this area was submerged, being a marine environment, in which these various species of goniatites as well as other marine dwelling fauna lived.
