Jurassic

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.

Tooth of an ichthyosaur.Age: Lower Jurassic, Posidonia shaleLocality: Holzmaden, Baden-Württemberg, GermanySize of the tooth: 0,7 cm lang Slab: 6 x 4 x 2 cmWith its wonderfully preserved fossils, the Holzmaden deposit is world famous. Complete ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and marine crocodiles lie among vast quantities of Dactylioceras ammonites.

Complete ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine crocodiles lie among vast quantities of Dactylioceras ammonites. It is believed that weak water circulation created anoxia (a complete lack of oxygen) at the bottom, preventing scavengers and decomposers from breaking down the bodies of dead animals. Colors in product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

Tooth of an ichthyosaur.Age: Lower Jurassic, Posidonia ShaleLocality: Holzmaden, GermanyTotal Size: Tooth: 8 mm; Rock: 9 x 8 x 2 cmThe lagerstätte of Holzmaden is famous for its high-degree of preservation.

It is reckoned that a low degree of circulation caused anoxia at the bottom of the sea, which prevented scavengers from destroying the carcasses of deceased animals.Color on pictures can differ from original due to technical reasons.

Beautiful typical ammonite for the Toarc, delivered in a Jousi box, as pictured.Age: Jurassic, ToarcianLocality: Causses Le Clapier ,FranceSize: approx. 1,5 - 2 cmThe genus name Mercaticeras derives from Michele Mercati (a Tuscan physician who lived in the 16th century, superintendent of the Vatican Botanical Gardens) and ceras = horn, therefore the genus name means horn of Mercati. Mercaticeras shows a subquadratic section, sometimes wider than high. The shell is averagely evolute, with a spiral that grows more rapidly in the internal whirls. It is adorned by sturdy, clavate, simple ribs.
