Product information "Dentalium sexangulum"

Dentalium sexangulum
Scaphopode - "Grabfüßer"

Age: Middle Pliocene, about 3 million years old
Locality : Castell’Arquato, Italy
Size: ca. 5-6 cm (about 2 in)

The molluscan Scaphopods spends their entire lives buried in the sediment, where they catch tiny prey between the grains with thin tentacles. Only the far end of their shell sticks out of the ground which allos them to breathe. This way of life unfortunately means that often times scaphopods do not get accumulated as much as other shelled animals suchas bivavles and brachiopods.

The photo serves as an example illustration. You will receive a specimen in comparable quality.

Temperoceras sp. (ca. 3-4 cm)
"Cephalopod"Age: Upper SilurianRegion of discovery: Atlas Mountains, MoroccoSize: about 3-4 cmPrice per piece.Temperoceras was an orthocone nautiloid, a sort of squid-like mollusc with a striaght shell. They were dominant predators in the Devonian and Silurian. Their greatest advantage was being able to swim effortlessly by manipulating their density through the siphuncle, the small tube going through each chamber of its shell. They could use it to increase the gas volume in the chambers. These specimens have been polished to show the calcified interior of the shell.The picture serves as an example, you will receive a piece of comparable quality.
