These beautiful pyritized ammonites (Kosmoceras sp.) are from the Jurassic period, Saratov region, Russia, and can be used for jewelry or as display fossils. The Pyrite is crystallized within the chambers. Please note that these are hand picked complete undamaged ammonites, not your typical grade "B" pyritized  ammonites available in most places. Please include the letter designation when ordering a particular specimen.

Offered here are some very nice detailed fossil echinoids - Heliophora orbicularis, from the Miocene period, Safi, Morocco. These ornate specimens have "fingers" protruding from the body and make a welcome addition to most any fossil collection. These echinoids are priced at $7.50 each. Please order by numeric designation.

These Scutella stelatta Echinoids from France are nearly impossible to find today. This is our last specimen. From the Miocene period, Faluns de Touraine, France, this echinoid is ~6.5 cm in diameter, and in good display condition. Priced at $75.00. Scutella.jpg (34797 bytes)

 

These specimens of Perisphinctes from the Late Jurassic, Tulear, Madagascar, are ~9 cm in diameter and well polished. Each of them is priced at $28,00. Use A for the left one and B for the one on the right. Echinoid, Madagascar, a.jpg (189841 bytes) Echinoid, Madagascar, b.jpg (174759 bytes)


These beautiful fossil echinoids are from an area not known for fossils - Egypt. They are classified as Laganum depressum and are Miocene/Pliocene in age. From an area north of Mersa Alam, Hurghada, on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, they are quite well preserved and an attractive addition (and location) to any fossil collection. The bottoms of each fossil are as nice as the tops. They are priced at $25.00 each and are lettered for easy ordering.

Conularid, dbl.jpg (132482 bytes) Conularid, $25.jpg (129641 bytes) Still unresolved is the identification of Conularia. Some classify them in the filter-feeding, coral-like, animal kingdom; others disagree. Whatever the classification, these creatures are rare. The Conulariad crustula specimens shown here are Pennsylvanian in age, come from the Muncie Creek Shale, Lenexa, Kansas. Each specimen comes in a glass front display case, as shown.

Fossil crab.jpg (1024698 bytes) This is a very nice specimen of a fossil crab, Harpactocarinus punctulatus, from the Eocene period, Monte Baldo Quarry, Verona, Italy. The crab measures ~10 cm across the widest portion. This specimen will become a great addition to a collection. It is priced at SOLD


Carpoid, $110.jpg (630422 bytes) Carpoids, generally considered a subphylum of echinoderms, are relatively uncommon. They are Palaeozoic in age, having a skeleton typical of echinoderms, but seem only distantly related to other echinoderms. Seldom seen and quite interesting in shape, these two specimens are from Morocco. They are priced at $110.00 (left) and SOLD (right). Either will make a nice addition to a fossil collection.

Dendraster gibbsii, unpolished, 1.jpg (268276 bytes) The Dendraster gibbsii fossil echinoids are some of the most beautiful. These specimens are Pliocene in age and come from the Hawthorne Formation, Kettleman Hills, California. These larger specimens shown here are ~4 to 5 cm across the width, are unpolished, and are priced at $15.00 each. Please order by number.
