Fossil Amphibian, Discosauriscus pulcherrismus, Permian, Boscovice, Moravia, Czechoslovakia

Discosauriscus.jpg (141061 bytes) A new arrival and one of the best examples we have seen of this species. Measuring a full 18 cm from nose to tail, this superb specimen has wonderful 3-dimensional bone structure. The plate is ~12 by 23 cm. This plate is intact; the light color lines are old ground cracks which self-healed with what appears to be quartz. This specimen is truly museum quality and will fit into the finest fossil collection. 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. Priced at $1800.00.
