A rare find from the Eifel region!Age: Devonian;Location: Wachtberg, Sötenich, Eifel, GermanySize: 13.5 x 10.2 x 2.5 cmConularia 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.The colors on the photo may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.

Part of an Eurypterus carapace with obvious details!

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.Colors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

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.
