Product Details

Offered is an unusually well preserved and essentially complete 7cm example of the Branchiosaur Amphibian Branchiosaurus sp. from the Lower Permian marl slates of Niederkirchen, Germany.

Laterally preserved, the main body and tail shows the skin preservation well and the vertebral column particularly well in the tail section; the rear limb bones including digits are intact and in sharp preservation;

The anterior of the animal is disturbed, probably by post-mortem scavenging, but the anterior limb bones and pectoral girdle, along with some ribs, are well preserved, and the skull appears to be evident anteriorly too..................in all a fascinating legacy of early Permian freshwater life.

Matrix approx. 8cm X 4cm X 2cm.

Welcome to Ace Fossils

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.
