The custom bronze mount, part of our classic range, compliments every fossil and mineral element chosen for surmounting, this is the art of THE FOSSIL STORE™ derived from a historic background working with fine art and objects of antiquity. Each object is appraised and a base mount handmade to fit comfortably and uniquely with every exhibit.

Below shows a stout and heavy surmounted fossil goniatite resting elegantly on the aesthetically slender support, thus creating an air of lightness to the mount and therefore the setting of minimal design does not overpower the fossil feature. We refer to these types of mounts as our classic range, deriving inspiration from the classical sculptures of the ancient world. Like a series of Greek or Roman torso's and sculptured heads, these ammonoids stand equal in dramatic gravity and chic style.
