• Geological Age: Upper Chalk Formation, Cretaceous period, 100 to 65 million years ago.
• Location: Kent, UK
• Family: Echinoderm
• Species: Conulus albogalerus

Conulus albogalerus fossil echinoid specimens found in the Upper Chalk strata of Kent in the UK. Dated to the Cretaceous period, this species of echinoid is well known for its cone like shape, hence its name. The samples measures 5 cm in size and are available in various grades and sizes making certain ones suitable for educational use and others for display and collectors. Supplied in a card tray with a data label.

Specimens of echinoid spines from Morocco, the species is unable to be identified from these spines alone, they are supplied in lots of 100 g and come in a polythene bag with an information label.

Specimens of Heliophora orbicularis, collected from the Western Sahara, Morocco. Heliophora orbicularis is an unusual species of echinoid, characterised by their unique finger like protrusions, jutting outward from one side. They date to the Upper Pilocene period, approximately 3.6 million years ago. They have a relatively flat, disc like shape and belong to the sand dollar family. Their distinct appearance is highly variable among individual specimens in terms of over all shape and size. These particular samples have been mostly cleaned and prepped so that features on the surface of the body can be viewed, as well as the ‘fingers’. Please note there may be some blemishes present however. These specimens are beige in colour and come supplied in a 1.5″ x 1.5″ white card try with information label.

Specimens of the echinoid, Holaster laevis, collected from Wilmington, Devon in the UK. These specimens date to the Albanian stage of the Cretaceous period. Specimens measure approximately 30mm and come in a white card tray with an information label.

• Location: Morgan Limestone, Mannum Formation, Mannum, Australia
• Family: Echinoderm
• Species: Lovenia forbesi

Lovenia forbesi fossil echinoid specimens from the Morgan limestone formation found in Mannum, Australia, excellent high quality samples with a heart shape and visually clear morphological details and an off white or beige colouration.

• Geological Age: Upper Cretaceous – Campanian, G. quadrata Zone, 72 to 84 million years old.
• Location: Romsey, Hampshire, UK
• Family: Echinoderm
• Species: Offaster Pilula

Offaster pilula are a sub species of echihnoids, fairly small in size, these 2 cm fossil specimens were found in Romsey,, Hampshire in the UK in Campanian age rocks of the Cretaceous period. They exhibit an almost spherical shape and white colouration, very few features are visible but they are certainly ideal for the more serious collector or to indicate the diversity of a species.
