This incredibly rare sponge is three dimensional and is from an old collection. Its the only fossil sponge we have come across from Skye. The sponge has lovely detail throughout and is a must for the discerning collector of rare UK fossil sponges.
A lovely example preserved in dark grey flint which was discovered in 1968. Haldon Hills is a famous locality for chalk fossils, however all the localities are sadly no longer. One for the collector of UK fossil sponges.
This very rare example of a Hexactinellid sponge was discovered in the iconic chalk quarry of Wilmington. It was discovered in 1969 and we believe is one of only 6 specimens ever found at this long lost locality.
This huge example has been preserved in various shades of green calcite and has been highly polished. The specimen is approximately 200 million years old and was discovered in 1990. The quarry where this magnificent fossil was found was backfilled in 1992. These fossils from this famous locality are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain thesedays. The matrix has a cut base for ease of display. A unique gift idea.
