fossils at auction

by fossilstore 15. March 2010 21:07

 

Our ‘fossils in design’ team are always out and about searching new venues or vehicles to promote our own individual style, over the years this has included exhibitions and auctions normally outside the sphere of the traditional fossil selling markets.

Our team at, ‘The Fossil Store Ltd’,here in the United Kingdom. Have long experience with the Art and Antiques trade; our generational roots grew from these disciplines and so naturalistically we have encompassed selling in highly important exhibitions and auctions particularly in the UK and have achieved record prices on several occasions for fine & Rare fossils.

Fossil factoid of the day

by fossilstore 12. February 2010 00:12

Seven foot long burrows found in 106 million year old rock in Victoria, Australia support theories that dinosaurs living in colder climates burrowed to stay warm. The only other dinosaur burrow was found 4 years ago in 95 million year old rocks in Montana U.S.A. Burrows have also been found that were used by mammal like reptiles that survived the Permian extinction 240 million years ago.

January 2010 Field trip to Phosphate beds of Morocco

by fossilstore 28. January 2010 01:26

Here are a few images of the field trip to Kouribga fossil beds of Morocco this January. It is plainly evident every year that the quality and quantity of these extraordinary fossil deposits are becoming increasingly less rewarding for the production of Marine vertebrate specimens.

An unusual amount of rain has plagued collecting work early in the year, panoramic view of the machinery of the phosphate open quarry workings.

 

Old conveyor system runners rust away against a backdrop of the explosion of the local fauna taking advantage of the recent deluges

 

 

Among the tailings a few boulders produced some things of interest

 

 

Pterosaur tooth

 

Dyrosaurus Proximal bone section

 

Dyrosaurus

 

Sand shark tooth

 

Sand shark tooth among the boulder tailings

 

A new phosphate layer below an old tailings mound, this is the first step being exposed by tractor diggers before explosives are used to break up the phosphate and fossil bedding plain, prior to extraction of phosphate for the production of cement by the large conglomerate operating the quarries in this region.

 

In 2009 A new type of Mosasaur is found,

Note the rounded tooth crown

 

An old way of life, agriculture among the machinery and Premier and vast industry of this area of Morocco

After all the hard works over………

The price of endeavour will pay dividends!
