Description
Great Beginners Fossil Collector Frame of Marine and Fresh water creatures.
Five ancient animals to start a child’s fossil collection or to add to your own collection of Fossils.
These are wonderful fossils presented in a Collection Frame of Fossil Sea Creatures Teeth and Gar Fish Scales. The frame is eye appealing but also protects the fossils inside. The fossils include a Mosasaur tooth from Morocco, an Encodus “Wolf Fish” tooth, a Shark Tooth, a Crow Shark Tooth, and Scales from a Cretaceous Gar Fish from Montana. These are all animals that once lived and thrived in the ancient tropical seas that once covered parts of the world.
The Fossil Collection Frame is a handsome leatherette case with a glass top. Because the fossils are a little fragile they sit on foam batting inside. The frame is 6 inches by 8 inches long and about 3/4 of an inch high.
This Fossil Sea Creatures Teeth and gar Fish Scales Collection consist of real fossils. Because these fossils come from around the world they are not easily available to other parts of the country. Also if you are a teacher it affords the opportunity to see first hand what fossils are and were like during ancient times and the similarity with creatures today. So here is your chance to get a great starter collection.
Fossils form mostly because of the hard parts of the animal. Soft tissues rare become fossils, but sometimes some soft tissues are found. The usual way fossils form is by mineral replacement. Water is usually involved in that process because the fossil has to be buried. It is buried in mineral rich sediments and then as the animal decays it is replaced by minerals that surround the animal.
