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.

Grammoceras is an extinct genus of Ammonite, which existed during the Jurassic period. Distinct due to their disc-like curved shell and distinct, thin ridges. These ammonite specimens are very well preserved, making them a perfect tool for analysis,while also providing the quality to become a display piece in fossil collections, particularly those geared towards UK marine fossils. These particular specimens are of an unknown species and were found in Illminster, Somerset, UK. They range from 1″ – 2″ and come provided with a white card tray and information label.

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.
A fossil specimen of the fossil rugose coral phillipsastrea ananas found in Ramlia, Southern Morocco. The specimen is from the Devonian period and is approximately 350/360 m years old. Specimens come in various sizes in a white card tray with an information label.
A specimen of a Hexagonaria, which is an extinct genus of rugose coral, found in the Sahara Region, Morocco. The specimens belong to an unknown species and have been polished. This makes them a great addition to any collection. Additionally, the rough genuine face beneath provides an excellent tool for analysis. All specimens are Devonian in age, approximately 2-3″ in size and supplied in a white card tray with an information label.
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.

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