• The fossils are found in fissures within the rock and are interpreted as being the inhabitants and prey of animals that lived in and around the cave system.  
• Included in each collection are ONE each of the following: Heliscomys rodent tooth, Proheteromys rodent tooth, Megalus rabbit tooth, Calamagus snake vertebra, Anolis Iguana jaw fragment, amphibian vertebra, Bat finger bone, Mammal toe bone, rodent incisor, crocodilian tooth, ranid frog fossils, and Helioderma Gila monster dermal armor.
• Typical specimen size is 2 to 5 mm - this is a microfauna.
• You need magnification to properly view these fossils, but they are wonderful examples of a 28 million year old cave environment.
• 

• This collection conists of 19 vertebrate fossils from the Pleistocene river gravels of Levy County, Florida.

• This collection covers the Cambrian to Cretaceous with 75 different species of Brachiopod. 
• All the specimens are complete and include a wide variety of forms from tiny Cambrian inarticulates to large Devonian atrypids. 
• The collection comes housed in a plastic storage case that measures 8x6x2 inches.
• Includes rare Jurassic and Triassic forms. 
• The exact make-up of the collection varies based on availability but every collection includes specimens from every geological period of the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic.

• Bryozoans were an important part of the Palaeozoic seas fauna but are rarely offered as identified specimens. 
• This collection includes 38 different species ranging in age from the Ordovician to Permian. 
• Faunas suchs as the Bromide Formation of Oklahoma, and the Brownsport and Waldron of Tennessee are included.
• Plenty of pore details are visible when the specimens are viewed with magnification.

• 23 different species of brachiopod from the Pennsylvanian of North America. 
• Several different geological formations are included to provide an overview of the group from this period.

• There are nine species from the Mississippian.

• A rare collection of bivalves and gastropods from the the Pennsylvanian and Permian of North America. 
• Eight of the species are from the Permian and as such are particularly uncommon, being from deposits largely inaccessible today.

• 13 different species of brachiopod from the Permian of North America. 
• This is a rare collection as marine faunas from this period are not readily accessible to collectors.

• This collection gives a comprehensive overview of the more common forms that are to be found in the Lower Permian Texas Red Beds.
