- Madagascan Polished Ammonite half (Hematite – 100 million years old): Ammonites are an extinct shelled cephalopod most closely related to modern day squid and octopus, though they had a shell.
- Goniatite Button 30-40mm (250-390 million years old): Another extinct cephalopod with a similar shell to their later relatives the ammonites, being free swimming and possessing a head with two well developed eyes and arms (or tentacles).
- Shark Tooth (Otodus) 25-30mm: Otodus is an extinct, genus of mackerel shark which lived from the Paleocene to the Pliocene epoch. Megalodon was a member of this genus.
- Trilobite Chunk (Rough) 30-40mm (380 million years old): Trilobites are early arthropods that look similar to modern day isopods, like woodlice, recognisable by their segmented bodies, articulated exoskeletons, and diverse morphological features.
- Mosasaur Tooth 20-25mm (100 million years old): Mosasaurs were large marine reptiles that lived approximately 98 to 66 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.
- Dinosaur Bone
- Coprolite: Coprolites are the fossilised poop of animals like Dinosaurs. They are trace fossils, which means they are not body parts. They’re important as they give clues about the animals diet.
