To hold a meteorite in one's hand is to literally behold a visitor from deep time. Solid iron meteorites originate from unknown planets destroyed long ago. Stony meteorites may originate from the mantle of such a destroyed world, or may be fragments of a coalescing planet that was disrupted before the process was complete. Others are pristine remnants of the material from which the solar system was formed.
Our best sellers are the ever popular Canyon Diablo meteorites from Arizona. Owners of these solid iron meteorites truly hold an object "from the dawn of time."

The ammonite family began about 400 million years ago during the period we call the "Devonian." Anarcestina as pictured here are often offered as "Goniatites" from Morocco. The truth is that these cephalopods are the most ancient of all the "ammonoids" and are the ancestors of the Goniatites and through them all of the following ammonoids and true ammonites.
Timeline Age: Devonian

Fifty million years ago, a full fifteen million years after the catastrophe which wiped out the dinosaurs and many other animal families, North America was green with new grasslands and a sub-tropical climate that extended northwards to Wyoming and Montana. A lake, Fossil Lake, near Kemmerer, Wyoming has provided the best fossils and clearest picture of life in Wyoming 50 million years ago. The sedimentary formations deposited in this and other contemporary lakes have been combined to form the geologic "Green River Formation." Fossil fish, mammals, insects, and plants have been recovered continuously since the discovery of the Green River fossil beds in the mid-nineteenth century.
The fossils from the Green River Formation that we offer are exquisite examples of life that breathed when horses were spaniel sized and primates had just begun the long journey to world domination.
