Fossils

CRYSTAL MOON GALLERY

As with our minerals, we try to limit our fossils to specimens we can obtain and offer at a fair price. However, we do occasionally buy a fossil just because it is too exciting to walk-away-from...

	Branchiosaurus sp. Very unusual larval form of this Permian Period amphibian. Like frogs, these amphibians metamorphosed from eggs to larva (aka 'tadpole') to adult. This specimen is about 1¼" long. Odernheim, Germany BR1 $49
Branchiosaurus sp. Permian Period amphibian found in the well-documented quarry site at Odernheim, Germany (now protected). Permian amphibians frequently displayed a 'boomerang' shaped head. This specimen is about 1½" long FO-1146 $59
	Calycoceras tarrantense These ammonites get their species name from Tarrant County, Tx, and produce some of the most spectacular of Texas fossils. A smaller species, the average C. tarrantense is about 5" in diameter. This specimen is huge at ~9½", and over 11 lbs. FO-1173 Sold
Calycoceras tarrantense One of the characteristics for which these ammonites are famous is the beautifully calcified interior chambers, which this specimen displays wonderfully. About 6" diameter, with some chipping in the outermost 'living chamber' FO-1172 Sold
	Calycoceras tarrantense At about 5½" in diameter, this specimen is average in size. But, the preservation is a outstanding. Lots of detail, and attractive coloration. Also, calcite veining remains attached to the outside from the process of fossilization (it was found within a septarian nodule) FO-1170 Sold
