  • Kona Dolomite (KONA9)

    Notes specific to this specimen: This is an excellent sliced section showing multiple stromatolite colonies with distinct layers (laminae). The clear layering is unusual for this slightly metamorphosed material. It has a smooth back and a flat bottom so it stands up nicely.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D4)

    Notes specific to this specimen: This is a distal manus digit (“finger”) bone of Edmontosaurus. In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.

    Documentation: This authentic fossil specimen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and Origin.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D3)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Commonly called the “hoof” of a hadrosaur – in this case Edmontosaurus – this is the end bone of a pes digit (toe). In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.

    Documentation: This authentic fossil specimen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and Origin.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D2)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Commonly called the “hoof” of a hadrosaur – in this case Edmontosaurus – this is the end bone of a pes digit (toe). In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The asymmetry here indicates this was likely a toe on the right side of the animal. The fine detail on the bone surface is exquisite and remarkably well preserved. This piece has no reconstruction.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D1)

    Notes specific to this specimen: This is a very well preserved neural arch and process of a cervical vertebrae, probably about midway down the neck of a hadrosaur (bipedal) dinosaur. The centrum is not present. The fine detail on the bone surface is exquisite and remarkably well preserved. This exceptional piece has no reconstruction.

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB14)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Rare double bomb. These unique specimens form when two magma projectiles run into each other in flight before they completely harden. In this case the merge was early in the ejection event, before the two projectiles had started to acquire their own individual character. Instead the combination of the two was almost obliterated by the overall form taking shape before they fell back to Earth.

     

    SIZE: 9″ x 6″ x 4″

    Documentation: This authentic fossil specimen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and Origin.

     

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB12)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Large, rare, combination fusiform bomb. This is the result of three individual magma projectiles running into each other in flight. In this case the merge of these three individuals was early in the ejection event but after the individual projectiles had started acquiring their own individual character. The combination of these three bombs resulted in one very large cigar-shaped bomb which acquired it’s own form which dominated the final shape before falling back to Earth.

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB6)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Complex plump fusiform bomb with smooth aerodynamic striations. Apparently ran into another bomb during flight and part of that bomb is still attached but is not complete. Natural breaks reveal chalcedony interior which fluoresces a vibrant green. Unusual.

    SIZE: 7″ x 4″ x 4″

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB4)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Large classic plump fusiform bomb with great aerodynamic striations. It looks like it encountered another in flight but did not complete the merging with it. Natural breaks reveals chalcedony interior which fluoresces a vibrant green. A great specimen.

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB2)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Rare, beautifully-shaped double bomb. These unique specimens form when two magma projectiles run into each other in flight before they completely harden. Each had started to acquire it’s own individual character before they combined and fell to Earth.

  • Crystalized Clam (OK10)

    Crystalized fossil clams like this are exceptionally rare. These clams lived in a shallow sea that covered most of Florida 2 million years ago. A sudden storm event buried the clams, trapping cavities inside. When the shells began to dissolve, it provided the material necessary to grow calcite crystals in the open spaces. These unusual fossils are known from only one site, an old quarry near Lake Okeechobee. The quarry played out and flooded in 2007. We excavated this in 2023. An attractive and informative display card accompanies the specimen.

     

    Notes specific to this specimen: Two excellent full clams trapped in matrix. Both are recrystallized calcite replaced with clear zones evident. NOTE: These clams do not have any of the honey calcite crystals. But they sure are very cool!
