Leptopius duponti fossil weevil cacoons from the Holocene period found in Elliston, south Australia. Known informally as pixie clogs, the cacoons were spun by the weevils in their pupae stage in order to protect them during metamorphosis into adult beetles. An interesting piece for fossil collectors or educational use to exhibit an example of a ‘trace fossil’, the cacoons are approximately 50 mm in length and 30 mm in diameter and come supplied in a card tray with a label.

The fossilised remains of weevil cacoons, known as pixie clogs in folklore, these cacoons were produced by the prehistoric insect leptopius duponti, a beetle which lived during the Holocene period, though an exact age for them has yet to be determined. The cacoons are an off white, beige colour and have a single opening on one side, they would have originally been made of plant matter and secretions from the animal to bind the material together and the purpose was to protect the animal during metamorphosis from pupae to adult weevil and when matured, would breakout of the cacoon, hence an opening on one side. The cacoons we stock are roughly 50 mm in length and 30 mm in diameter and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

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.
Species Name: Bos primigenius
Geological Age: 10,000. Pleistocene period
Location: North Sea Bed, Holland
Body Part: Ankle Bone
Ogyginus comdensis was a species of asaphid trilobites from the Ordovician period, and found in abundance in Wales. They were characterised by their squat, rounded bodies. These specimens are preserved within a mud stone matrix, some of which has been polished, but all of which has been cut to display the fossils in their entirety. A perfect specimen for analysis of different orders of trilobite if purchased along side a more common variation, these fossils could also be used as a display piece. All fossils are provided with a white card tray and information label.
Available in the folowing sizes:
These sizes refer to the length of the trilobite, not the matrix they are contained in. Matrix size varies between specimens.
