Thanks for visiting!
Offered is a rare, impressive and displayable item for the serious collector: a piece of matrix approx. 11cm X 11cm X 0.5cm, preserving two complete Branchiosaurs Apateon pedestris, from the Lower Permian, Rotliegendes, Jeckenbacher Schichten of Oderheim, Germany
These beautiful specimens are overlapping and are complete. Both are 8.5cm..........one is dorso-ventrally preserved, the other laterally preserved. Both show fine detail of the skull with lower jaws and dentition in the lateral specimen, whic also shows the complete vertebral column and two limbs, complete with digits (anterior limb is in 'swimming' mode, close to the body.
The dorso-ventral specimen has a particularly detailed skull and vertebral column, and three of the limbs are partially prepared out; these could be better prepared with modern air tools. Both examples have the delicate skin preserved ............In all a fine double example of a rare soft - preservation Salamander for the specialist at an affordable price..
Although I sell a very wide range of fossils from Pre- Cambrian to Pleistocene age, I specialize in trilobites from all over the globe and in particular, British species.
I collect regularly in the UK, with more than forty five years of fieldwork experience and probably the best working knowledge of British trilobite localities. I have a doctorate and a masters degree in trilobite taxonomy and British Palaeozoic stratigraphy and an Open University degree in Natural Sciences.
If you are an amateur collector, a more serious scientific collector, or an agent for an educational organization ( e.g College, University or Museum), I can supply materials to suit your needs! I also buy whole collections and trade materials too. Visits are welcome,by appointment only.
