A one-of-a-kind curated natural history collection bringing together fossils, minerals, animal specimens, and an authentic meteorite in a varied display of material from the natural world.
At the center of the collection is a substantial 4" partial megalodon tooth, accompanied by a whole polished ammonite displaying intricate suture patterns and a large coprolite specimen. A fossil fish vertebra adds another smaller piece of prehistoric life to the collection.
Mineral specimens include a vivid cluster of azurite on quartz, a polished bumblebee jasper freeform, and an enhydro agate containing a naturally trapped mobile bubble. The enhydro is especially interesting when held in front of a light source, which makes the bubble much easier to see as the specimen is moved. Please see the listing video for the backlit view and movement of the bubble.
The collection also includes an 11 gram Campo del Cielo meteorite, presented in its own labeled specimen case. Campo del Cielo meteorites are fragments of an iron meteorite fall discovered in Argentina and offer the opportunity to hold a genuine piece of extraterrestrial material alongside specimens representing Earth's geological and biological history.
Completing the collection are a buffed goat horn and rabbit fur, adding modern zoological material and contrasting textures to the fossils and minerals.
Each specimen was individually selected to create a collection with a wide range of forms, textures, origins, and natural history subjects rather than a group of closely related objects. Natural variation, weathering, fractures, surface irregularities, and other evidence of each specimen's history are present throughout.
