Thanks for visiting!
Offered is a displayable and essentially complete 6cm bat Palaeochiropteryx tupaiodon from the Middle Eocene of the celebrated Messel Pit at Darmstadt, Germany.
Articulated bats are a rare find, to say the least, and this example shows a skull, vertebrae including a complete tail and some ribs, along with the pelvis and two rear limb bones (femur). Both folded wings are articulated and show the elongated digits that support the skin between the wing and the rear limbs to enable flight; the skin is also preserved, especially on the left wing............the dark staining over the body area is natural and represents original fur !
Matrix approx. 15cm X 13.5cm X 0.5cm.
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.
