Raphidonema faringdonensis, Cretaceous, GBR
Well-preserved sponge.Raphidonema are calcareous sponges that were widespread in the Cretaceous from England to India. Their flat shell shape encrusted hard surfaces quite quickly, where they used small ciliated cells to channel streams of water into their pores for filtration. In addition to a skeleton of calcareous needles, they also had a second superordinate skeleton of solid limestone.Age: CretaceousLocality: Faringdon, Oxfordshire, EnglandSize: approx. 3 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.Our pictures are for reference only - when purchasing you will receive a piece of comparable quality.

Stromatolite (ca. 3 x 5 cm), Kambrian, MEX
Beautifully preserved fossil algae mats.Stromatolites (from the ancient Greek στρῶμα stroma = 'blanket', and λίθος lithos = 'stone') are some of the oldest fossils that can be found.  They are essentially algae, cyanobacteria or other microorganisms that grow in layers and collect sediment. Each newly formed layer collects sediment from percolating water. When the sediment fossilizes and the bacteria decompose, the layering remains. As they need calm water and have no defense mechanisms, they only grow in extreme environments today where their predators cannot survive, such as in Australia's Shark Bay.Age: CambrianLocality: MexicoSize: approx. 2-3 x 5- 6 cmColors on product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.Our photos are for reference only, when purchasing you will receive a piece of comparable quality.
