Here is something new in the Rock Shed's educational department.
This is a Stone Fish Kit. This kit has a large piece of Limestone shale
which holds a real fossil Fish that is entombed in the shale. A tool
is provided to scratch the Fish out of the matrix. The kit comes with
direction that explain how to remove the fossil Fish from the Shale and tips
to assist you in the removal. The directions also include a brief history
and preparation of the fossils plus a chart to determine which type of Fish
you have excavated. Item will be similar to item in photo.
Another photo.
This would make a super educational tool or great gift. Please
note that the fish removal can take up to 35 hours to just expose the fish
and will take more time to complete remove the fish from the Limestone.
This is not an activity that can be complete in one evening.

Here is a very nicely, detailed Orthoceras Fossil Plaque with several nice
polished specimens. It measures 10" x 7" x 1 3/4". This polished
piece has a minimum of 6 highly defined squid-like creatures that are very
visible. These fossil plaques have been carved and chipped to expose
the fossils and polished to highlight the fossils. These fossils are from
Morocco. They make great decorator pieces as well as collectible for
the fossil collection.
Orthoceras was a marine cephalopod, this particular species was straight
shelled and they thrived some 400+ million years ago in the Paleozoic era.

This is a fossilized Shark Tooth. The specie name is Otodus Obliquus
and from the Eocene period. This Tooth is in a Limestone matrix and measures
2 3/4" diagonally and is from Madagascar. Close observation would reveal
minor damage to the very tip of the tooth, and though it does not take from
the appearance, we have reduced the price. |
