A classified insect (e.g. beetle, spider, ant, mosquito, fly), enclosed in amber from the Eocene of the Baltic (approx. 50 million years old). Packed in a magnifying lid box - a real surprise package!Amber is fossilized tree resin. As each tree species produces different resins, each amber locality is different. The origin of Baltic amber is still a mystery, as even the large sites in Kaliningrad are relocations.Make sure that your amber is not exposed to the sun, as this can degrade the material over time.Age: EoceneLocality: Baltic StatesSize: approx. 1.5 cm in magnifying lid box The colors in the pictures may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.All our pictures serve as examples.

Remarkably beautiful, large, and tridimensionally preserved head ofBalteurypterus tetragonophtalmus on matrix.Eurypterids, also known as sea scorpions due to their pointed tails, originated in the Ordovician period. They were the dominant predators of the Upper Ordovician, Silurian, and Lower Devonian seas and reached their greatest species diversity during this time.This order's most impressive representatives could grow up to a length of 3 m, while Balteurypterus tetragonophtalmus only reached a few modest centimeters. The large group of eurypterids had a fin-like, powerful last pair of legs. They also had two respiratory systems, book gills and gill plates, and trace fossils show that they were quite capable of going ashore. Unfortunately, they didn't quite make the leap, for like their close relatives, the horseshoe crabs, they used their leg attachments for chewing, which is much more efficient underwater than on land.Fish were increasingly competing with them in the marine environment, causing the Eurypterids to retreat to river systems.Only a few varieties of what is believed to be the largest known arthropod of all time remained in the Permian period.Age: Silurian, Bagovitsa FormationLocality: Smotrych (left branch of Dniester River), near Kamianets-Podilskyi,Khmelnytskyi Oblast, UkraineHead size: 2.7 cmMatrix: approx. 3.5 x 3.5 cmDue to technical reasons, colors in product photos may differ from those of the original piece.

Fish also increasingly competed with them in the sea, so that they retreated to the river systems. By the Permian, there were only a few species of these presumably largest known arthropods of all time.Colors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

A beautiful specimen of the species: Chresmoda obscura!Age: Upper Jurassic, Lower Tithonian, Malm Zeta;Locality: Solnhofen, GermanySize: Insect: approx. 13 x 16 cm; Matrix: approx. 30 x 33.5 x 3 cmChresmoda are large, enigmatic insects with very long, specialized legs that are likely adapted to glide across the water’s surface, much like water striders. They can reach a body length of about 25 millimeters, with a forewing length of about 28 millimeters. Some large specimens could reach a size of about 19 centimeters.These Polyneoptera, whose taxonomic classification is uncertain, were considered aquatic and lived on the water’s surface, where they likely hunted small nektonic animals.They lived during the Cretaceous period in Brazil, China, Lebanon, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mongolia, and Myanmar, as well as during the Late Jurassic in Germany, spanning the period from 150.8 to 93.5 Ma, from the Tithonian to the Cenomanian. While most species are known as compression fossils, Chresmoda chikuni is known from well-preserved three-dimensional specimens in amber.Colors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Extremely rare!Currently: Arachnomorpha, order Cheloniellida Duslia insignis was first identified in 1893 on the basis of specimens from the upper Ordovician of the Letná Formation in the Prague Basin in Bohemia. Originally they were classified as polyplacophorous molluscs, but later this species was recognized as an arthropod and assigned to the burlingid trilobites. In the late 1980s, Chlupác considered Duslia to be a representative of the chelonielids, which are located between the "trilobitomorphs" and the chelicerates. Further studies argued for a phylogenetic link to the chelicerates (cf. Van Roy, 2006). Over the years, several hundred specimens have been offered for sale, mainly from the Djebel Tijarfaïouine in the El Caïd Rami region of Morocco. These specimens show only minor compaction or deformation and are fully articulated. The original cuticula has been replaced by a thick mineralization that ranges in color from pink to reddish-brown. The digestive tract is often visible, as in this case.The positive and negative impression of this specimen have been preserved.

Its remains are known from the Solnhofen limestone. It reached a length of about 10 cm (3.9 inches) and may have fed on particles on the seafloor. It became extinct sometime after the Late Jurassic, which ended about 145 million years ago (Ma). The records do not specify a precise date for the extinction of the genus Eryon itself; they merely indicate that its existence is limited to fossil finds from the Late Jurassic.Colors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Isolated head of a eurypterid of the species Eurypterus lacustris on matrix. Period: Upper Silurian;Location: Litchfield, New YorkDimensions: 9 x 5.5 x 1.7 cmColors on photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Eurypterids, also known as sea scorpions because of their pointed tails, evolved in the Ordovician. They were the dominant predators of the Upper Ordovician, Silurian and Lower Devonian seas and achieved maximum species diversity at that time.The most impressive representatives of this order could grow up to 3 m long, while Balteurypterus tetrag. only reached a few modest centimetres. The large group of eurypterids possessed a fin-like, powerful last pair of extremities. They had two respiratory systems - book gills and gill plates - and trace fossils show that they were quite capable of walking on land. Unfortunately, they didn't quite make the leap, because like their close relatives, the horseshoe crabs, they used the tips of their legs to chew, which is much more efficient underwater than on land. They also faced increasing competition from fish in the sea, so they withdrew to the river systems.In the Permian, there were only a few species of what are probably the largest known arthropods of all time.Age: Silurian, Bagovitsa Fm;Locality: Smotrych (left tributary of the Dniester), near Kamyanez-Podilskyi, Khmelnytskyi oblast, western UkraineSize of head: 1 cm; matrix: approx. 4 - 8 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.Our pictures are for reference only.

Rare! Piece of a fin. Known site for these fossils.Eusthenopteron is an extinct genus of Sarcopterygii, commonly referred to as lobe-finned fish, that lived in North America and Europe during the Upper Devonian. These fish are considered important ancestors of the tetrapods, the first land-living vertebrates, as they exhibit features that illustrate the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life. These include the structure of their fins, which developed into limbs. The anatomy of Eusthenopteron already shows some tetrapod-like features, particularly in the composition of the humerus (upper arm bone), which indicates the later development of the limbs. These fish may have used their powerful fins to prop themselves up in shallow waters, similar to push-ups, which is interpreted as a step towards land walking. Despite these adaptations, they remained restricted in their ability to move and were mainly bound to aquatic life.Age: Devonian, Fransnian;Locality: Scaumenac Bay, near the city of New Brunswick, province of Quebec, CanadaSize of matrix: approx. 5 x 7 x 0.5 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

A well-preserved insect from the famous fossil sites around Solnhofen!Mesonepa was a predatory aquatic bug that fed on smaller marine creatures and seized its prey with the help of powerful front legs. Its streamlined body and water-adapted legs enabled it to move efficiently, making it a skilled hunter of its time.The Solnhofen Sea was a series of lagoons in southern Germany that cyclically evaporated, becoming highly saline and oxygen-deprived.
