About This Fossil
This carefully curated collection brings together four exceptional specimens that span nearly 400 million years of Earth's history. From the ancient seas of the Devonian period to the lush forests of the Triassic and the diverse marine ecosystems of the Cenozoic era, this set offers a tactile journey through deep time. Each piece has been selected for its distinct preservation, representing a key chapter in the story of prehistoric life across the globe.
The journey begins in the Devonian of Morocco with an enrolled Phacops trilobite, captured in its classic defensive posture, alongside a striking Otodus obliquus shark tooth from the Paleocene-Eocene. The botanical world is represented by a vibrant, hand-polished slice of Triassic petrified wood from Madagascar, revealing ancient cellular structures mineralised over millennia. Completing the collection is an elegant, spiralled Turritellid gastropod shell from the Pliocene of Indonesia, showcasing beautiful mineral preservation.
Perfect for aspiring paleontologists, educators, or seasoned collectors wishing to expand their cabinets, this comprehensive set offers a diverse survey of fossil types, from marine invertebrates and vertebrate predators to ancient flora. Acquiring these specimens together as a curated bundle offers an exceptional way to build a foundational collection at an advantageous value compared to purchasing each piece individually.
Formation & Preservation
The specimens in this collection represent diverse preservation pathways across geological time. Some, like the ammonites, underwent mineral replacement where dissolved minerals slowly substituted the original shell material over millions of years. Others may exhibit permineralisation or detailed carbonisation, showcasing the varied and remarkable ways in which nature preserves the remnants of ancient life.
What Makes This Specimen Special
Each collection is hand-assembled to guarantee a diverse representation of prehistoric phyla. Unlike mass-produced kits, these are genuine, premium-quality fossils selected to meet the high standards of Deep Time Fossils, ensuring a proud foundation for any new collection.
Authenticity & Sourcing
Real vs Replica
- This is a genuine fossil — not a replica unless clearly stated. Clearly described and honestly presented.
- You will receive a specimen similar to the one shown — see Natural Variation below.
Ethical Sourcing
- Sourced from established suppliers and known commercial sites. We do not buy from localities we know to be protected, scientifically restricted, or subject to export controls. Origin and sourcing information is shared where known.
- ✓We will not knowingly handle specimens removed in breach of any country's heritage or export laws.
Origin & Natural Variation
Stated origin are based on supplier information and available geological references. Identification can vary in certainty — especially for fragments — so where exact locality cannot be independently verified, we describe the formation rather than a single quarry.
Fossils are natural objects. Expect minor variation in colour, surface texture, and matrix, mineralisation and surface detail. Treatment information is shown under Condition & Treatment where it is recorded. “Not recorded” means we hold no verified record for that detail; it is not a claim that no treatment occurred.
