Rare Feather (Possibly Dinosaur) in 100 Million Year Old Amber. Rare, 30 x 23 mm golden yellow Burmite amber nugget contains a large complete 22 mm possible dinosaur feather. This large branching symmetric feather is beautifully preserved with a central rachis. Being symmetric this is not a flight feather but rather is a feather from the body or arm of a 100 million year old dinosaur or bird. This feather has remarkable detail and appears to have some feather pigment still present. This pigment is brown or perhaps brown with black in color, extremely rare in amber as almost all of the specimens have the color completely bleached out leaving just a golden color. This rare and important feather is one of the largest and best preserved feathers found in Burmite amber. Presented in a 8 x 6" Riker mount with an enlarged photo of the dinosaur/bird feather. $3,000 - 4,000

Largest Egg Known. The extinct flightless bird Aepyornis maximus produced the largest egg of any animal that ever lived including dinosaurs. This egg is 13 inches high and 9.5 inches high. Aepyornis is commonly known as the elephant bird, a name that originated from Marco Polo's account of the giant bird in 1298. Aepyornis only lived on the island of Madagascar and the pieces of original shell from this bird have been reconstructed to form this huge impressive egg. The fossil shell is 10,000-20,000 years old and was found in the southern sands of Madagascar. Great care and time was spent in matching the sizes, curvature, and color of the egg fragments to put the egg back to its normal shape and size. This egg is a cream to light tan color with more than 65% of the egg fragments from the same egg and most of the remaining shell from one other egg. The egg is quite solid and stable. There are only about a dozen unbroken Aepyornis eggs known, most in museums with one selling at auction for over $35,000. This huge egg comes perched on a hand carved wooden stand. $2,500

Partial Lizard in 100 Million Year Old Amber. One of the rarest and most desirable of creatures in amber is that of a lizard. Burmite is 100 million year old amber that is found in the Hukawng Valley of Myanmar (Burma). This remarkable 1 1/8th inch long partial lizard encased in a 1½ x ¾" clear orange colored amber nugget shows most of the body and tail with two leg stubs and a blob of skin where the head should be. Lizards are seldom complete in amber because even though their body is encased in amber which is dessicating, the bacteria contained within their body lives long enough to break down the soft tissue of the lizard's body.
This rare lizard in amber is housed in a 8 x 6" Riker mount with a photo of the lizard. $1,500 - 2,000

Skin of Lizard Including Foot in Burmite. Burmite amber from Burma at 100 million years old is some of the oldest and certainly best quality ancient amber found in the world. This remarkable 22 x 13 mm polished piece of clear honey colored amber contains ¾ of the skin of a lizard's body (18mm long) including its tail along with a complete foot. Almost all of the lizard parts found in Burmite are just skin because the bacteria in the lizard's body do not die until they digest the lizard's body. The foot is just bone, skin and claws and is much more resistant to bacterial attack. This is a rare and impressive specimen is preserved in a 8 x 6" Riker mount. $1,400 - 1,700

T-Rex Pre-Maxilary Tooth. Almost all T-Rex teeth found were broken off when the T-Rex was feeding on some other dinosaur and are found fragments in many pieces.

Huge Fossil Badlands Turtle. Stylemys nebrascensis was a 30 million year old turtle that roamed the White River Formation of the Badlands of South Dakota. This huge 15 x 12 inch turtle is one of the largest ever offered at auction. The average size is usually only 5-8 inches long. The white outer carapace is remarkably complete with only a few plates moved slightly from the millions of years of fossilization. Stylemys' carapace was formed by a series of scutes originally made of keratin, the same material that our finger nails are made of. About 80 percent of the underside of the turtle, the plastron, which was formed by bony plates is preserved along with some white leg bones which are clearly still buried in the matrix. The shape and preservation is of museum quality with little distortion of the shape of the outer shell.

Large Plate of Permian Synapsid Footprints. There are 15 well defined footprints from a fairly large Synapsid named Laoporus on a large 22¾ x 10" cream colored matrix from the Coconino sandstone of the Ash Fork area of Arizona. Laopurus is only known from footprints and not from bones. Synapsids are known as mammal-like reptiles and were one of the dominant animals 270 million years ago when these tracks were made when the Synapsid was walking across a sandy beach covered by shallow water. The footprints are 1X1 inch in size excellently defined and deeply impressed with all 5 toes and claws visible in many of these footprints. Synapsids were more like mammals that reptiles in that their feet were placed directly under their body and not splayed out like in reptiles. It is very clear from these footprints that the footprints were made by an animal with its feet under its body. All of these footprints were made by a single animal that existed more than 40 million years before dinosaurs walked the earth. $900 - 1,200
