Some photos show different views if you move your mouse over them. |

A genuine piece of fossil star crinoid (sea lily) stem, mounted on a black onyx base.

A beautifully preserved fossil enrolled trilobite from Morocco. These creatures are now extinct but lived in
the oceans. They could roll up like modern pill bugs (wood lice) as this one is. Most had compound eyes, like many modern insects, and
if you look closely at the pop-up photo of the side of this one you can clearly see the myriad lenses preserved in this fossil. Just amazing
detail! I believe that this fossil is of a Phacops species.

A fossil pentremites blastoid, an extinct member of the echinoderm family, and thus related to modern sea urchins,
sea stars and sand dollars. It has 5 point symmetry. It is displayed on a silver base.

A fossil ammonite, sectioned to show its internal chambers, displayed on a polished slab of Brazilian agate.

An iridescent fossil ammonite from Madagascar. The base is a slice of
Brazilian geode. The ammonite is from the Cretaceous period, 144 - 65 million years ago.

Three different fossil crinoid (sea lily) stem disks, complete with readable
