Wholesale Fossilised Cephalopods
Fossils are fascinating, they are a small gateway into the distant past and cephalopods are a brilliant example of how hypnotic these peeks into the past can be. With winding spirals and beautiful contrast in their colours, it’s easy to lose yourself in the coiling curves of their shells.
Octopuses, Squid and Cuttlefish, are the wonderful little cephalopods we are familiar with today but they also share their branch with the lesser-known Nautilodea: Nautilus and Allonautilus.
While tricky tentacled creatures are definitely delightful it’s actually the Nautilodea who share the most resemblance to the ancient cephalopods who became dominant during the Ordovician period, in the form of primitive Nautiloids.
Those Nautiloids are many of the creatures we now find stunning fossils of in places across the globe. With 17,000 named species of fossilised cephalopods compared to only 800 living species classified today.
Wholesale Fossilised Cephalopods
Fossils make an enthralling addition for those looking to branch out their collection from solely minerals and gemstones, with their similar solid feel and shiny smooth surface, they look perfectly at home nestled among crystals, but they are entirely distinct in both appearance and origins adding interest to any curation.
As each fossil is its own creature, each specimen is different, with shifts in colour, size and patterns, meaning even a large group of the same species can be bewitching to look through.
