Offered from the world famous Cretaceous Santana Formation of Crato, Brazil, is a complete example of an adult female of one of the rarer flying Orthopterid insects of the order Saltatoria, with well preserved and typically narrow wings, a heavy thorax and abdomen and the long ovipositor for delivering fertilised eggs.

At 5.5cm (including ovipositor), this is a good sized example, and one for the specialist collector!

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.
