Sternberg rock, also known as Sternberg Kuchen, is a sandstone that was deposited in a warm tropical sea during the Palaeogene. Numerous fossil remains, such as shells and casings, were deposited in this rock. Storm surges and tidal currents deposited the remains in layers between fossiliferous sand.Age: Upper Oligocene, Palaeogene;Locality: Sternberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, GermanySize: approx. 12 x 13 x 4 cmColors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Cypricardites, Tentaculites sp. , Bembexia?Age: Devonian, Upper Koblenz layers; Locality: Siechhaustal near Koblenz, GermanySize: approx. ca. 12 x 9 x 3,5 cmColors on pictures may differ slightly from the original due to 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 The original cuticula has been replaced by a thick mineralization that ranges in color from pink to reddish-brown.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. It is unaltered, no color enhancement or retouching!Age: Upper Ordovician, Sandbian;Locality: Bou Nemrou, El Caïd Rami, MoroccoSize fossil: 10 x 7 cm; matrix: approx. 17 x 15 x 4 cmColors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Fossil feather imprint from the Miocene of France. Very Rare!Age: Miocene;Locality: Aix-les Bains, FranceSize: 5 x 5,5 cmThe colours on the picture might be different to the original due to technical reasons.

Very beautifully preserved conularia!This is an extinct group of cnidarians that are known as fossils ranging up until the Late Triassic. They can be recognized by their cylindrical hollow external structures, which were shaped like pyramids and consisted of numerous lamellae.Age: Upper Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian, Finis Shale Formation;Locality: Jack County, Texas, USASize: approx. 4 x 1,5 cmColors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Unique piece - one of a kind! Large slabs like this are rarely available for purchase.Rhynie Chert is a locally occurring freshwater sediment formed wherever rivers and ponds made contact with hydrothermal vents, silicifying their deposits. This resulted in a highly detailed conservation of plants and possibly arthropods.As a result, Rhynie is a very important site for invertebrate palaeontology and early vascular plants such as Rhynia, Aglaophyton, Horneophyton and Asteroxylon. Mycorrhizal fungi and lichens such as Winfrenatia reticulata are also excellently preserved.Often preserved down to the cellular level, these fossils allow a detailed study of the organisms and their ecology.The Rhynie Chert is the first known terrestrial ecosystem and remains a key area for the study of early land colonization.You will receive the specimen pictured.Age: Devonian, Emsian, Eifelian (approx. 400 million years old)Locality: Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United KingdomSize: approx. 11 x 8 x 1 cmColors in product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

Highly polished slab of jasper from the Mary Ellen Mine, interspersed with stromatolites.Hence the layering: sediment deposited in a tidal rhythm and collected by blue-green algae mats. Mainly green matrix with red structures.The slab is polished, in a good medium quality. Clearly visible in the last picture due to the reflecting light on the disk.Age: Precambrian, Biwabik Formation (2.2 - 1.88 billion years old)Locality:  Mary Ellen Mine, Mesabi Iron Range, St. Louis County, Minnesota, USASize: approx.16 x 11,5 x 0,5 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.
