Flexycalymene trilobite fossils, (syn: diacalymene) are a well known extinct species which lived during the Ordovician period, 449 to 443 million years ago and were found in Erfoud, Morocco. These samples exhibit quite clear morphological features such as the pygidium, cephalon and thorax as well as the shape and segments as expected. They appear to have a rusty, limonotic colouration which is due to iron oxide staining in the beds the fossils were found in. Available in various sizes and come supplied in a tray with a label.

Flexicalymene (formally known as diacalymene) are an extinct species of trilobite which lived during the Ordovician period, 449 to 443 million years ago. They represent the typical trilobite which one would expect, with their bodies being composed of three parts, the head (cephalon), main body, (thorax) and tail (pygidium), hence the name. As with most trilobites, they lacked any form of offensive defence and instead relied upon their hard bodies to protect them, it is believed that when under threat, they may have also enrolled into a ball like shape (similar to todays woodlouse’s) or buried themselves in the sea floor sediment. The morphological features of trilobites, particularly the legs and mouth located on the underside of the animals body indicate that the animal was most likely a scavenger and bottom feeder, feeding on the falling organic matter which lands on the sea floor. Their eyes were located on the top of their heads and are believed to have allowed the animal to keep a look out for potential predators. These particular specimens come from Erfoud, Morocco and are available in various optional sizes and come in a card tray with a label.

Perisphinctes are an extinct species of ammonite which lived during the lower Jurassic period, 163 to 145 million years ago. The animal could grown from anywhere between 10 mm to over a meter in diameter, making them among the largest of the ammonites. Their shells exhibit excellent morphological features such as clear, distinct ribbing and occasionally, well defined ammonitic suture lines, among the near perfect coil shape, it could be said that perisphinctes are the text book ammonite. These specimens are 1.5″ – 2″ in size and come supplied in a white card tray with information label.

A chain coral which lived in warm shallow waters and is common in the limestone rocks of the Silurian period. Halysites is often associated with other corals that formed small reefs. Specimens come in various sizes in a white card tray with an information 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.
