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.

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.
Fossil twigs, collected from Madagascar. These twigs are Triassic in age and come supplied in packs of 5 pieces. Packaged in a polythene bag with an information label.
Geocoma libanotica fossil brittle stars which lived during the late Cretaceous period approximately 95 million years ago. The samples are preserved on a micritic limestone matrix called lagerstatten which has a fine grain texture and beige colouration. They come from the renowned Hajoula region in Lebanon and each brittle star measures approximately 30 mm in size while the overall matrix is square shaped measuring 10 x 10 cm making them suitable as little gifts, for enthusiasts, young collectors or educational use. Each piece will come supplied with a stand and small 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.

• Location: Djebel Issoumour, Alnif, Morocco
• Family: Echinoderm
• Species: Crinoid
Crinoid stem fossils collected from Djebel Issoumour, Alnif, Morocco. These fossil specimens from the Silurian period, exhibit the segmented nature of crinoid stems, varying between 30 to 60 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter, the samples are supplied in optional weights, making them perfect where a certain amount is needed for an economical costs, such as for schools, kits and more. The samples will come supplied in a bag with a data 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.
