SOLD means just what it says. Please do not click on the Cart button if it says SOLDClick on the pic or the number for a larger view. Measurement is the widest distance across the fossil.All are labeled with the number on the page in an inconspicuous place, it can easily be rubbed off. Write down the description or take a screen shot, it will disappear if I list a new fossil.Information: "Fm." = geologic formation, Epoch (time period), "MYA" = million years ago. Get a geologic time chart here. Memorize it, there will be a quiz at the end :D |

Klaskanine, WA | 3" wide Pulalius vulgaris, ventral prep. It is all there, nicely posed, so if you back it with epoxy putty and prep from the top down you'll get a perfect crab. Lincoln Creek Fm., Late Eocene - early Miocene Period, abt. 30 MYA. | $20.00 |

Fossil 22 | Mitchell, OR | 2-3/4" wide ammonite from an area where white calcite veins cut through the mudstone as it fractured. Large size for the location. Cretaceous Hudspeth Fm. 80 MYA. | $12.00 |
||
Fossil 23 | Mitchell, OR & MT | Largest is 2-1/4", smallest is 1-1/4". 2 ammonites on the ends are from the Cretaceous Hudspeth Fm. around Mitchell, OR. Possibly Desmoceras. 100 MYA. Small one is probably Hoploscaphites, from the Bearpaw Shale Fm., northeast Montana. Late Cretaceous Period, 80 MYA. | $8.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 24 | Central OR Coast | Trio of snails. 3 speices, 3 locations on the central OR coast. My guesses are Cryptonica, Calicantharus, and "not enough to go by". I'm not that good at identifying snails. Astoria Fm., Miocece Period, about 14-23 MYA. | $8.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 25 | Mitchell, OR | Largest is 2-3/4". 3 ammonites from the Cretaceous Period, Hudspeth Fm. around Mitchell. Possibly Desmoceras. 100 MYA. | $6.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 26 | Twin Rivers, WA | 3-1/2" across. Thalianassa mud shrimp. What you're looking at is a male shrimp, they have a claw that is sometimes larger than their body! The rest is pieces of the shell and legs. I have exactly one of these that is completely intact, they are so delicate it's extremely rare to find one. One of my best Thalianassa, but I already have better from this location. Twin Rivers Fm., late Eocene to early Miocene, abt. 34 MYA. | $10.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 27 | Coal Creek, WA | (2) 3" oysters, they are very difficult to identify so I don't know the species. Very well preserved for this location. Colwlitz Fm., Eocene Period, about 41-33 MYA. | $9.00 |
||
Fossil 28 | Vernonia, OR | Shell is 1-1/2" long. Macroacaena schencki crab, most of the time the shell (carapace) is all there is. They have 2 big spines sticking out of their side, sadly this guy lost his. Keasey Fm., late Eocene–early Oligocene Period, abt. 40 MYA. | $6.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 29 | Newport, OR | Left is 2-1/2" wide. Trio of clams. Left to right Panopea abrupta, Katherinella angustifrons, Anadara devincta, Astoria Fm., Miocene Period, about 14-23 MYA. | $6.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 30 | Asfla, Morocco | 3 1/2" Choffaticeras segne ammonite (say that 3 times fast!). There is no shell left, only the mold, like the majority of these. You see these cut in half and polished at just about any rock shop on the planet, but you may never see a whole specimen. It is extremely thin, almost like a flying saucer! Late Cretaceous Period, 94.3 to 89.3 MYA. | $8.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 31 | Coal Creek, WA | (2) 3" oysters, they are very difficult to identify so I don't know the species. Very well preserved for this location, the left is the bottom shell; both halves are there. Colwlitz Fm., Eocene Period, about 41-33 MYA. | $8.00 |
||
Fossil 32 | Asfla, Morocco | 2-34" Goniatites, a relative of ammonites. You see these cut in half and polished at just about any rock shop on the planet, but you may never see a whole specimen. Devonian Period, 360-420 MYA. | $9.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 33 | Coos Bay, OR | 5" Teredo clam bored petrified wood. Most of the wood has rotted away leaving the tightly packed in molds of their burrows. Teredo are boring clams that still eat pilings and wood ship hulls to this day. It came out in 2 pieces so there is a repaired break. Empire Fm., Miocene Period, about 7 MYA. | $8.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 34 | Newport, OR | 2" long Crepidula praerupta, a really weird colonial snail. First a female settles on the sea floor, and gradually a bunch of males pile up on top of it. Then the whole bunch crawl sideways along the mud feeding. When the female dies, the next male in line turns female. This is a whole colony from the same location. I made the bottom flat so it stands up. Astoria Fm., Miocene Period, about 14-23 MYA | $6.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 35 | Newport, OR | 2" wide Katherinella angustifrons clam, Astoria Fm., Miocene Period, about 14-23 MYA. 1 Cent WITH $25 PURCHASE from the polished rocks, fossils, and cabochons pages only. Please order only one 1 cent piece per order. | 1 Cent! |
YES | |
Fossil 36 | Newport, OR | 2" wide, possibly a Calicantharus snail. Did I mention that I'm not good at dentifying snalis? Astoria Fm., Miocene Period, about 14-23 MYA. | $5.00 |
YES | |
Fossil 37 | Morocco | 4-1/4" Mammites ammonite. You see these cut in half and polished at just about any rock shop on the planet, but you may never see a whole specimen. Late Cretaceous Period, 94.3 to 89.3 MYA. | $12.00 |
