Palaeozoic Survey Collection 20 Samples
This is a comprehensive collection featuring microfossil samples from the Palaeozoic. In all there are Twenty (20) different samples, which between them contain small shelly fossils, ostracods, fusulinids, conodonts, reptiles, amphibians, sharks, fish, foraminifera, bryozoa, scolecodonts, plants and more. Samples cover the Cambrian through the Permian and show a massive diversity of life forms.
Many samples have ID cards so that you can put names on many of the specimens that you find. There are thousands of fossils in this collection. Each sample has been processed and sieved so that it can be picked for microfossils.
The contents of the collection typically include the following specimens although minor changes may be made based on stock levels.
1.) Cambrian - Pioche Shale (Small Shelly Fossils)
2.) Lower Pooleville Member, Bromide Formation, Ordovician
3.) Upper Pooleville Member, Bromide Formation, Ordovician
