A new arrival and a nice
example of this species. Measuring ~14.5 cm from
nose to tail, this specimen is from a location closed since 1986. The plate
measures ~12.5 by 22 cm. This plate was broken and repaired close to the
tip of the tail. SOLD |
| Here is a truly rare
fossil! This seahorse, Hippocampus ramulosus, came from the Marecchia River
area, Rimini, northern Italy (the only known location in the world for fossil seahorses) and
is Upper Miocene in age. From all reports, there are
fewer than 200 fossil
seahorses in existence and most museums do not have an example. The
beautiful specimen shown here is our last example and one of the last
specimens available as the site where these seahorses were collected has been
permanently closed; therefore, no new specimens will be
available in the future. If you have ever wanted a sea horse, now
it the time to get it. SOLD |

very reasonable SOLD |

great display piece priced at SOLD. |
