Cave Bear
The Cave Bear (Urusus spelaeus)
roamed the mountainous areas of Europe until they died out during the last large
glacial period about 27,800 years ago. The large male cave bears would weigh
900-1100 pounds. A size that would resemble a large Kodiak gear. It is thought
that the Neanderthal man may have worshipped this bear since they used there
bones.

Reptile / Mammal Coprolites
These coprolites
were so life-like I could not pass them up. They are incredibly detailed,
absolutely complete with exceptional preservation. These coprolites are either
reptile or mammal in origin. They are Miocene age (approx. 20 million years ago)
from the Wilkes Fm., Toledo, Washington.
OK, now the fun part. Yes, they look like
crap. Having a crappy day? Put it on your desk and this fossil will cheer you
up. Feeling like crap? Well have your very own display crap and let the world
see how you feel. Great conversation piece. No one will doubt that these are the
real deal! The amazing thing is that they survived 20 million years. A great
piece of prehistoric history. Kids love them. Great for schools! Great for your
boss or fellow employee! They do not smell - guaranteed or your money
back! You gotta love 'em. OK, I am having too much fun now...

Starfish & Brittle Star
These fossil starfish from the Morocco are incredible.
Large size with exceptional detail. Ordovician age. Note - their are many fake
("manufactured") versions of the Brittle Stars and Starfish on the market.
Please beware of "bargains" and unknowledgeable & unscrupulous dealers. These
are the real ones and they are quite rare, but still reasonably priced such a
special fossil. Note - I also have an excellent group of rare, top
quality Brittle Stars from Germany - Jurassic age.
