Ancient Oceans 4-in-1 Fossil Specimen Collection - Authentic Marine Fossil Set

When life first appeared in the world's oceans, it did so in a form we would barely recognize - tiny photosynthetic bacteria struggling for existence in a hostile early Earth. Billions of years later, during the Cambrian Period, life blossomed in a diversity that still defines the animal kingdom today. This authentic Ancient Oceans 4-in-1 fossil specimen collection assembles four real ocean fossils spanning billions of years of marine evolution - from the oldest traces of life on Earth to the most successful marine invertebrates of the Mesozoic - in a single framed display designed for your wall or desk.

Four Real Specimens, Billions of Years of Ocean History

The Ancient Oceans collection includes four authentic specimens: a Stromatolite from the North Pole Dome of Australia (3.48 billion years old - the oldest confirmed evidence of life on Earth), an Ammonite Split revealing the internal chamber structure of a Cretaceous cephalopod, a Crinoid columnal segment from the 541-million-year echinoderm lineage, and a Japanese Star Sand specimen of Foraminifera tests from Okinawa, Japan. Each specimen is genuine - not a cast - and the collection is presented in a framed display with informational text. This real multi-specimen ocean fossil gift set measures 5.5 in x 9.5 in.
