Fossils

This is a remarkable Nautiloid fossil from the Fammenian stage of the Devonian period, sourced from the Kowala Formation in Poland’s Kielce-Lagow Syncline.

A nautiloid fossil from the Famennian Stage of the Devonian Period dates to approximately 372–359 million years ago, during the final stage of the Devonian. Nautiloids were marine cephalopods with chambered shells, related to the modern nautilus. They lived in ancient seas and used the chambers in their shells to help control buoyancy.

This natural fossilized specimen, measuring 19x14x13 mm and weighing approximately 4.83 grams, provides a glimpse of marine life near the end of the Devonian, long before the age of the dinosaurs.  Although dinosaurs are the most well-known fossil life forms, pyritized fossils are also a favorite among collectors.

Morocco is home to some of the world’s richest dinosaur-era fossil deposits, including rare teeth from predators like Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus, as well as newly described prehistoric reptiles with unique tooth structures.

Fossils in good condition, such as more complete specimens, are extraordinarily rare given that most of the Cretaceous fossil sites were once tumultuous river beds. Nearly all fossils are isolated bone fragments or teeth. The abundance of teeth partly results from the fact that dinosaurs continually lost and replaced teeth throughout their lives, similar to modern crocodiles. Thousands of dinosaur fossils are found in and exported from Morocco every year.

Among Moroccan dinosaur teeth, those of the theropod dinosaur Spinosaurus are especially common, likely resulting from Spinosaurus spending most of their time in the rivers, rather than along the river banks. In one fossil site examined by paleontologists in 2014, Spinosaurus teeth accounted for nearly half of all the fossil teeth recovered, and about a sixth of the total recovered fossils. Teeth of other dinosaurs are considerably more rare, with the fossil Spinosaurus teeth of one site outnumbering the teeth of other dinosaurs by about 150 to one.

Discover a piece of history with our Fossil Carcharhinus Gray Shark Teeth. These shark teeth are believed to be from the Carcharhinus species, dating back to the Miocene to Early Pliocene period, approximately ~23 to 5 million years ago. Sourced from the Peace River,  Venice Beach Florida, these teeth are approximately .5 to 1 inch in size. Perfect for collectors or those interested in prehistoric relics.

The Carcharinus Genera - or the Gray Sharks are a genus of requiem sharks with over 30 extant species. They are very common and found virtually all over the globe. They feed on a variety of prey, from bony fish, other sharks and rays, and squid.

You will receive 1 of the shark teeth pictured.

Discover a piece of history with our Fossil Otodus Shark Teeth. These shark teeth are believed to be from the Otodus obliquus species, dating back to the Eocene period, approximately 54 million years ago. Sourced from Khourigba, Morocco, these teeth can reach approximately between 1 to 3+ inches in size. Perfect for collectors or those interested in prehistoric relics.

Otodus shark teeth are large, triangular fossils from an extinct genus of mackerel sharks that lived from the Paleocene to the Pliocene epochs, showcasing their role as formidable predators in ancient oceans.

Note: small defect - partially missing root.

You will receive the exact matching ammonite halves pictured here.  They measure 38x30mm.

This is a perfectly fossilized and highly polished natural Ammonite from Morocco, which is perfect for gift giving to a new fossil collector. Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. It is probably going to be one of the rarest collection item you'll ever own. These are perfect if you make jewelry and similar crafts or as a fossil collection item.  

This a lovely pair of fossilized, and highly polished natural Orthoceras from Morocco.  They  measure 37x11 mm each and have a total weight of 7.7 grams.  Orthoceras ("straight horn") is a genus of extinct cephalopod. This genus is sometimes called Orthoceratites. Note it is sometimes misspelled as Orthocera, Orthocerus or Orthoceros. Orthoceras are common fossils and have been found on many continents, including the Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia. They are dated to the lower Ordovician to Triassic ages (500 to 190 millions years ago). They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. 

Orthoceras fossils are great as a collectors item or can be used for jewelry making.
