Fossils

Orthoceras fossils from Morocco

An important part of the collection consists of fossils of Orthoceras, a prehistoric sea creature that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. A remarkable example is the beautiful Orthoceras slab from Erfoud in Morocco, in which multiple fossils are clearly visible in the rock. The black stone with light fossil forms creates a strong visual contrast. As a result, Orthoceras fossils are often used as decorative objects.

Rare trilobites and museum pieces

In addition to Orthoceras, the collection also contains remarkable trilobite fossils, one of the oldest known life forms on Earth. An impressive example is the museum specimen, the Paradoksides plate on a stand, in which the fossil structure of this prehistoric species remains clearly visible. Trilobites are among the most beloved fossils among collectors. Due to their recognizable shape and rarity, they are often part of museum collections.

Decorative fossil objects

In our collection of fossils, you will also find objects in which fossils have been incorporated into unique decorative pieces. An example of this is the fossil wine holder featuring many beautiful Orthoceras, where multiple fossils remain visible within the rock. The combination of nature and design creates an object that is both functional and decorative. Such pieces demonstrate how fossils can also be incorporated into interior objects.

Prehistoric finds from the ocean

One of the most impressive fossils is the showpiece megalodon giant tooth (L) found in Florida, USA. The megalodon was a giant shark that lived in the oceans millions of years ago. These teeth are among the largest fossil shark finds in existence. Only a few specimens of this quality are offered in Tucson each year.

Unique objects

In addition to loose fossils, this category also contains special pieces incorporating ammonites. An impressive example is the ammonite tabletop with a diameter of 70 cm, of which only seven examples have been made worldwide. Ammonites are known for their spiral fossil structure and are often used as decorative objects. Due to its size and rarity, this is an exceptional piece within the collection.
