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.

Specimens of Dinosaur Bone, collected from Abingdon, Oxfordshire in the UK. These samples are from an unidentified species, however they date to approximately 157 – 152 Ma. This puts these samples in the Kimmeridgian stage of the Jurassic period, which is the apex of the dinosaur’s rule on Earth. The specimens display a rusty brown colouration and showcase their porous bone structure. The pieces are from undetermined body parts and could be remnants from various parts of the animal.

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.

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.
