This page has a few photos of some of the miscellaneous fossils that we have from around the world.

 

NEW! Oreodont _

Oreodont (Merycoidodon gracilis), Oligocene, Brule Fm, White River Group, Pennington Co., South Dakota (#G11-755, $65). Partial skull, with one partial canine tooth on left side.

NEW! Fossil shark teeth (Carcharodon megalodon, Miocene), Hawthorne Fm, Morgan River, South Carolina. We have about a dozen of these, most of which are 2.5-3.5 inches long and in good condition. Prices range from $35-$65, with most under $50.

megalodon shark tooth_Shark tooth (Carcharodon megalodon, Miocene), South Carolina (#G11-1037, $45) This specimen is about 3" tall and 2.5" across at the base, with good serations on the tooth.

 

NEW! Fossil flying insects from the Green River Formation near Kemmerer, Wyoming. There are a few different species that we have, but we have not been able to find out exactly what they are. They are all on small squares of matrix, and are in very good condition. Prices range from $16-$20.

_Fossil flying insect, Eocene, Kemmerer, WY (#G11-965, $20)

_Fossil flying insect, Eocene, Kemmerer, WY (#G11-970, $18). Insect is about 5/8" across on a 1.5" matrix.

 

fossil echinoid, france__ Fossil echinoid in matrix (Oligocene), Bordeaux, France (G11-136, $60). We have several of these showy specimens, with either one or two echinoids on the specimen. Prices range from $42-$76, with most under $60.

__Fossil scallop (Pectens, Miocene), Coos County, Oregon (#G10-763, $24 per pair). These occur as nodules that are found along the beaches. We have a few pairs like this one, and a few single specimens. Prices range from $6-24.

coprolite, pseudocoprolite__Coprolite?,southwestern Washington (#G10-788, $15). There's some differences of opinion as to whether or not these specimens are really fossil poop or not, which is why I've included the question mark. They are sometimes labeled as "pseudocoprolites". At any rate, they are primarily composed of the mineral siderite, and seem to contain no organic material, which argues against them being true trace fossils, but I've included them here because they sure do look like coprolites. Anyways, we have several of these, priced from $6-15, with most at $10 or less.

 

trilobite, utah__Trilobite (Elrathia kingi, Cambrian), Wheeler Shale, Millard Co., Utah. (#G09-298, $30). This specimen has on large trilobite and several smaller ones. Prices range from $10-$30, with most under $20.

 

turritella, France__Fossil turritella and clam (Oligocene), Touraine, France. (#G09-284, $24). Prices range from $18-$30.

 

shark tooth, morocco__Fossil shark tooth (Eocene), Morocco. (#G05-571, $10). These teeth are in good shape, and are still sharp on the edges (unlike the photo!). Prices range from $6-$12.
