Fossils

Brachyphyllum cf. gracile, Jurassic; GER

Fossilized branches and leaves of conifers are called Brachyphyllum. They are probably remains of araucaria.A series of lagoons in southern Germany, the Solnhofen Sea, evaporated cyclically and became highly saline and oxygen-depleted. As a result, all life in them died and was completely buried. Of course, this also affected submerged plants and their decomposers.Age: Upper Jurassic, Lower Tithonian, Mörnsheim strata;Locality: Mühlheim near Mörnsheim, Gailachtal, district of Eichstätt, Bavaria, GermanySize: approx. 9 x 7 cm; length of branch: 2,5 cmColors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Collecting is now prohibited there.The specimen offered here comes from an old private collection - take this unique opportunity and acquire it!In the Miocene, large parts of southern Styria were covered by a tropical shallow sea. A volcanic eruption, which covered the sea floor with a thick layer of basalt, preserved snails, shells and other material. During work in the quarry, the clay marl layer beneath the basalt was excavated, where fossilized snails, mussels and other fossils were discovered. Around 100 different species were identified.Age: Miocene, Badenian, Upper Lagenide Zone;Locality: Weitendorf basalt quarry, Styria, AustriaSize: approx. 4 x 2,5 x 4 cmColors on pictures may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

Balteurypterus tetragonophtalmus, Silurian; UKR

Age: Silurian, Bagovitsa Fm.;Finding region: Smotrych River, Kamjanez-Podilskyj, UkraineSize of head: 2 cmSize of matrix: 6 x 6 x 1 cmEurypterids, also called sea scorpions for their pointy telson, evolved in the Ordovician. They were the apex predators of the upper Ordovician, Silurian and lower Devonian seas, and reached their largest biodiversity during this time. The largest representatives of this order could reach up to 3 meters, while Balteurypterus tetragonophtalmus only was a few modest centimeters long. The Suborder of Eurypterina, to which Eurypterus of course belongs, modified their last pair of legs into swimming paddles. They had two respiratory systems - book gills and Kiemenplatten - and trace fossils indicate that they could go on land. They never fully transitioned, however, probably because like their relatives the horseshoe crabs they chewed with the bases of their legs outside of their mouth, which would have been more efficient underwater than on land. In the seas, fish started outcompeting them, which drove the remaining species into the rivers. In the Permian there were only a few species left, among them the heaviest arthropods to ever exist. During the Permo-Triassic extinction the last members of this group went extinct.The colors on the pictures may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.

Balteurypterus tetragonophtalmus, Silurian; UKR

Two cephala and several thorax segments of Balteurypterus tetragonophtalmus.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 attained their maximum species diversity at that time.The most impressive representatives of this order could grow up to 3 m long, while Balteurypterus tetragonophtalmus only reached a few modest centimetres. The large group of eurypterids possessed a fin-like, powerful last pair of legs. 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. 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. Age: Silurian, Bagovitsa Fm;Locality: Smotrych (left tributary of the Dniester), near Kamjanez-Podilskyj, Khmelnytskyi oblast, UkraineSize head: 1 x 1.3 cmSize matrix: approx. 5 x 7 x 1 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Belemnite, Cretaceous, GER (~ 6 cm)

Well-preserved, isolated belemnite.The name derives from the Greek "belemnon" = "projectile", which is why these fossils, which are often washed out of the earth after thunderstorms, are also known as thunderbolts.These are calcite crystals which grew inside a squid and gave the animal stability. Unlike ammonites, which protected themselves with shells, these cephalopods were able to swim quickly and nimbly thanks to their stability. Something similar can be observed in the school of modern cuttlefish.Age: Cretaceous, Campanian (approx. 80 million years old);Locality: Höver near Hanover, Lower Saxony, GermanySize: approx. 6 cmColors on product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.The photos are for reference only.
