Hi guys! Here are pics of all my fossil Jurassic Lycoptera (Wolf Fin Fish) fish that arrived from Liaoning, China recently. From the Jehol Biota and around 120-140million years old that are still available. They are each perfectly preserved with all the small details preserved and come with a plastic stand to display them where you want! There is also an ID card supplied with each fossil which has a bit of Chinese translation hilarity but does describe the fossil. I have added pics with calipers that are set to mm so you can see the size.

Considering the age and the excellent preservation I will only be charging Aud$50 per fish which is very cheap for a piece like this, but I buy lots directly from the diggers in Liaoning ,China. I ship anywhere around the world and shipping is determined by location but isn't much because it's not a large, heavy item. Of course I can also meet up locally.

Feel free to message me if you want a prehistoric fish plate! These go fast! I'm also available on the account of "The Curious Naturalist". and of course, "Daniel Windhofer". Some are on hold so I'm not posting those unless the sales fall through but they are with regulars so should work out fine.

Hi guys! Here are pics of all my fossil Jurassic Lycoptera fish that arrived from China recently. They are each perfectly preserved on a small plate and come with a plastic stand to display them where you want! There is also an ID card supplied with each fossil which has a bit of Chinese translation hilarity but does describe the fossil. I didn't add a ruler to every pic but I did take one pic with a ruler so you get the idea of the size. I also added a couple pics showing the fine details of the fossils.

Considering the age and the excellent presentation I will be charging Aud$50 per fish. Works out to only US$36. Our dollar is low so it's a great time to buy overseas from here! I ship anywhere around the world and shipping is determined by location but isn't much because it's not a large, heavy item.

A sneak preview of the contents of a box that arrived in the mail. I have around a dozen of these truly amazing specimens from China for sale. Some of the best fossil fish available with the best detail even though they are ancient! 140myo! The info even comes with a printed IS card that is spot on but my mate in China didn't have access to a perfect English speaker but give him a little break. His fossils are sweeeeet!

I will be putting these up for sale soon, after I take photos of them all in natural light etc. They come with the ID card and a stand so make the perfect display piece for your desk, shelf or anywhere else you want to display a fossil fish older than your grandma! Email me if you wanna get in early.

Some of us are closer to the original than others....

Hi guys! Some very cool stuff from a mate arrived in the mail from Russia. This stuff is rarer than gold!
Actual hair from a woolly mammoth that was frozen for 8000-10,000 years. From the permafrost in Yakutia, Siberia. Amazing stuff. Very cool how orange it is! I'll be keeping a tuft and selling a bit. After framing some ill put them on sale.

Checking out a new piece of amber. Needs more of a polish but that's a nice inclusion!

Going to clean my last woolly rhino tooth (all the others have sold) and put it up for sale. And this one has strange striations on the roots. Those aren't seasonal growth lines and I have yet to find out what they are. Maybe when I do I won't sell it! In fact, this one looks so nice it barely even needs a clean. But, due to the missing root and a little gluing done on the intact root because of cracks, it will be cheaper than the last couple. This one will be Aud$75.
