Product information "Conularia, Devonian, Eifel, GER"
A rare find from the Eifel region!
Age: Devonian;
Location: Wachtberg, Sötenich, Eifel, Germany
Size: 13.5 x 10.2 x 2.5 cm
Conularia belongs to an extinct and still enigmatic group of marine animals that were likely related to cnidarians – distant relatives of modern jellyfish and sea anemones. Its body was enclosed in a pyramid-shaped, four-sided shell made of a tough, horn-like material. This unusual structure makes Conularia one of the most striking fossils of the Paleozoic era.
In the Eifel region, Conularia fossils are extremely rare. While the area is well known for its rich Devonian fossil record, conulariids occur only in a few layers and are often poorly preserved. Well-preserved specimens from the Eifel are therefore highly sought after by collectors and scientifically valuable.

Herring fish: Knightia eocaenaThe limestones of the Eocene Green River Formation are in no way inferior to the famous Solnhofen limestones in terms of preservation quality and are sometimes even more rewarding. Knightia is the most common fossil in the deposit and is synonymous with it. Knightia was a freshwater schooling fish. In fossil form it is always found in masses. This is why it is assumed that it was often the victim of natural events such as algal blooms.Period: Tertiary, Middle Eocene, Green River Shales;Age: approx. 45 million years;Locality: Warfield Springs, Wyoming, USASize fish: approx. 6-8 cm; slab: approx. 12-14 cm longThe photo serves as an example, each piece is unique. Colors may vary slightly due to technical reasons.You will receive a specimen of equivalent quality.

Herring fish: Knightia eocaenaThe shape of the fish is lightly traced with a brush.The slab limestones of the Eocene Green River Formation are in no way inferior to the famous Solnhofen Limestones in terms of preservation quality and are also in part much more productive. Knightia is the most common fossil in the deposit and is synonymous with it. Knightia was a freshwater swarm fish. It is always found in large numbers in fossil form. Therefore, it is assumed that they often fell victim to events such as algal blooms.Age: Tertiary, Middle Eocene, Green River Shales (approx. 45 million years old);Locality: Warfield Springs, Wyoming, USASize of fish: approx. 4-5 cm, on 7-8 cm matrixFor technical reasons, the colors in product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen.
