Araucaria mirabilis Polished Cone slices What you see here is sliced and highly polished fossil cones from Patagonia, Argentina, and these are Jurassic (210 Myo) in age. No more exports are expected from South American for most of their fossils. I was lucky to buy an old collection of these pieces and here they are on offer. They are collector grade specimens and all come with a laminated info card and Free stand. All prices include UK Postage too. They are really beautiful pieces and best displayed in a well lit cabinet or shelf. The calcite colours and preservation are exquisite and some of the small thinner slices would even be good to display in front of a light for a great effect,. |

New! Devonian age plants The liverwort-like thallus or plant body of Parka had a thick outer covering cuticle. The plant body iteself sometimes has a simple "Y" branch and was only tens of cells thick. It nearly always bore distinct rounded bodies or spore capsules, which contained numerous spores. These were mostly land plants shown from their protective covering of the plant and spores. Old Redstone Sandstone, Forfar, Angus, Scotland. There are a few species of devonian plant available below. It is recommended these be displayed in a well lit area such as a cabinet to get the maximum benefit or viewing. |

Permian Age Glossopteris Tree Ferns - MUSEUM QUALITY DISPLAY SPECIMENS The Glossopteridales arose around the beginning of the Permian on the great southern continent of Gondwana. These plants went on to become the dominant elements of the southern flora through the rest of the Permian but disappeared in almost all places at the end of the Permian. Glossopteris was a woody, seed-bearing shrub or tree, some apparently reaching 30 m tall. Instead of needles, they had large, broad lance- or tongue-shaped leaves that fell to the ground at the end of summer. The fossil leaves are commonly found as dense accumulations representing autumnal leaf banks. The fossilized tree rings in the Glossopteris trees reveal that they grew steadily each spring-summer and abruptly stopped for winter. These pieces are super Quality, and would not be out of place in a museum display! The preservation of the plants are exquisite. TOP QUALITY pieces competitively priced.

Madagascar Plant fossils
Large display size Fossil Wood Slices from Madagascar
These are wood slices from ancient tree trunks found in the mahajunga region of Madagascar and are around 210 Million years old (Jurassic). The wood has by this time turned to stone, remineralizing and so this is why there are so many colors in the pieces. They all have beautiful coloration and tree rings are still visible too and no two slices are alike. AA quality and superior finish to the surface.
