FOSSILS PAGE 3
Updated 15 March

| 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. |

Offered here is a magnificent
ammonite specimen of Asteroceras. It measures ~19 cm in diameter and ~6
cm thick at the opening. The overall plate and specimen measures ~22 cm
by 32 cm. Jurassic in age, this Asteroceras is from the Frodingham
Ironstone, Scunthorpe, England. These ammonites are not common and
preparation is extremely time consuming due to the ironstone host
material. This specimen is priced at SOLD. |
 |
This is a specimen of the
ammonite Orthosphinctes, from the Jurassic period, Morondava,
Madagascar. It is in excellent condition and measures ~7 cm overall.
Priced reasonably at $28.00. |

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. |

These echinoids, Encope
calcus from Baja, Mexico, have been polished to highlight the beautiful
pattern. They are Pliocene (~1 million years old) in age. Various
specimens are available and are priced quite reasonably at $18.00 each.
All are in excellent condition. Let us choose one for you. |

Crinoids from the
Burlington Formation in Missouri are quite different from those found in
Indiana. These are preserved in limestone and are difficult to prepare.
Shown is but one example of numerous specimens we have ranging from
$10.00 to $50.00. Most matrix blocks are ~70 to 80 mm per side. Several species
of crinoids are available. This particular example is priced at $10.00.
Contact us with specific wants and we can send photos of specimens
nearest to your requirements. |

These beautiful Echinoids
(Scutella subtouda, Eocene) from near Bordeaux, France, are great
display specimens. They have not been available for many years until a
recent road cut uncovered several specimens. Singles are $40.00 each.
Doubles are $75.00 per plate. This is a new stock so choose one before
they are gone. |
