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.

Tuff from the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, Ordovician in age, the rock has a green colouration to it and a slate like cleavage, hence sometimes being known as volcanic slate, green slate or Borrowdale slate. Rock specimens are available in 3 optional sizes and will come supplied 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.

Pentremites sp. blastoid collected from Pennsylvanian sediments in Indiana or Oklahoma, USA. Pentremites belong to the class Blastoidea and they are a type of echinoderm. These specimens measure approximately 2 cm in diameter.
A colonial coral which lived in warm shallow waters and is common in the limestone rocks of the Silurian period. Favosites is often associated with other corals that formed small reefs. Favosites specimens have a honeycomb appearance when viewed from above.
• Geological Age: Jurassic period, Toarcian age, 182 to 174 million years ago
• Location: Ilminster, Somerset, UK
• Family: Ammanoid
• Species: Harpoceras
Harpoceras ammonite fossils found in Ilminster, Somerset, UK, these Jurassic period ammonites exhibited a typical coiled shell, though the ribbing is faint, they detail ammonitic suture lines upon closer inspection, varying in size, these particular species are beige cream colour and are available in a range of sizes and grades, supplied in a card tray with a label.
Species Name: Leptaena depressa
Family: Brachiopod
Age: Silurian, Wenlock Series
Location: Dudley, West Midlands, UK
Araneograptus murrayi fossil graptolite specimens which exhibit dendritic morphology. The samples are preserved within Fezouata shale deposits of lower Ordovician which is within the Drâa-Tafilalet region of Morocco and show the fan like structure this species had during life. A colonial animal, graptolites likely floated trough the ocean and filter fed, much similar to corals. The abundance of iron in the rock gives the shale and fossils a pale orange colouration. Graptolites themselves are important for geological dating as specific species can be used as zoning fossils to determine the age of strata, as such, these samples are not only suitable for enthusiasts but also educational use. They come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

• Family: Echinoderm
• Species: Crinoid
Moroccan fossil crinoid stem specimens supplied in packets of 5 pieces, dated to over 400 million years old, they lived during the Silurian period and show excellent clear morphological details such as stem segments. Ideal for educational use and young collectors.
Isastrea fossil coral of Jurassic age, collected from Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, UK. Isastrea is an extinct species of Scleractinian coral which existed in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. These reef building corals had a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae and so lived in in shallow, warm, clear marine waters. These specimens measure approximately 3″ in size and come in a white card tray with an information label.
