A display specimen of Osteolepis macrolepidotus from the Orkney Islands, Scotland. This sample was found in old red sandstone, Sandwick fish beds dating it to the Devonian period. Osteolepis is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish that lived during the Devonian period. Osteolepis’ body was covered in heavy rhomboid scales, the scales on the fish’s head were covered in a thin layer of cosmine a somewhat spongy bony material containing canals to sensory organs. This is believed to have allowed the fish to sense changes in water pressure. The piece including its matrix measures roughly 21.5 x 11.5 x 2.5 cm and weighs around 1.631 kg, the fossil itself measures roughly 12.5 x 3.6 cm. This specimen is supplied with an information card and is a must have for any serious fossil collector.

• Geological Age: Aptian stage, Cretaceous period, 125 to 113 million years ago.
• Location: Santana formation, Brazil.
• Family: Fish
• Species: Dastilbe
Dastilbe are an extinct species of bony fish, these fossil specimens are often small in size, only 3 to 5 cm long and are often found preserved on a siltstone matrix. These samples were found in the Santana formation in Brazil and are fairly well preserved, they are ideal for educational use or for children due to their small size and inexpensive price.

Diplomystus sp fossil fish specimens from the famous Green River formation in the state of Wyoming, USA. These fish (of which the exact species is undermined) lived in a fresh water lake in what is now Wyoming and died en mass, fossilising in the calcite rich sediment at the lake floor. They are identifiable as Diplomystus due to their rounder and larger body as opposed to the more slender, Knightia fish also found in the same formation. They fossils are between 50 to 90 mm and show the overall shape of the fish as well as the spine, ribs and fins and are thus ideal for educational use or as gifts. Each sample will come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.

• Geological Age: Carboniferous period
• Location: Clitheroe, Lancashire, UK
• Family: Echinoderm
• Species: Crinoid
Fossil crinoid stems from Clitheroe, Lancashire, these specimens are excellent for collectors and educational use, they are of an fairly good size where morphological details can be easily seen, ranging from 40 to 60 mm in length and varying thicknesses. They samples will come supplied in a card tray with a 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.
A genuine fossilised fragment of a dinosaur egg shell, discovered in Patagonia, Argentina. It has been dated to approximately 70-90 Million years ago, comes supplied in a perspex box with a detailed info label and 10x magnifying hand lens.

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.

• 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.
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.
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.
