Pleistocene fossils are a fascinating window into a relatively recent chapter of Earth's history. The Pleistocene epoch, often referred to as the Ice Age, spanned from approximately 2.6 millions to 11,700 years ago. Fossils from the Pleistocene provide valuable insights into the diverse flora and fauna that inhabited the Earth during this time. One of the most iconic aspects of Pleistocene fossils is the representation of large mammals, often referred to as megafauna.

In our store, you can find a wide variety of bones from this period, which we have categorized by specific animals. You can discover beautiful specimens of mammoth skeletal parts, mammoth teeth, vertebrates, bones from woolly rhinoceroses, and megaloceros. We have a range of specimens, from more common ones like horse or bison teeth, to rare pieces like bone fragments from hyenas, lions, or cave bears. If you haven't found what you're looking for, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Plant fossils offer a fascinating glimpse into the ancient world, providing valuable insights into the evolution of plant life and the changing environments of Earth. These well-preserved remnants serve as time capsules, allowing us to study the diversity and adaptations of prehistoric vegetation. There are several distinct types of plant fossils, each offering unique information about the plants that once graced our planet:

1. Leaves: Leaf fossils are some of the most common types of plant fossils. They come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and arrangements, reflecting the incredible diversity of past plant species. Leaf fossils can provide information about the shape, texture, and even the type of plants that existed in a particular era.
2. Stems and Twigs: Fossilized stems and twigs offer insights into plant structure, growth patterns, and vascular systems. These fossils can reveal details about how plants adapted to different environments and climates.
3. Roots: Fossilized roots tell us about the underground aspect of plant life. They provide clues about how plants anchored themselves, obtained nutrients, and interacted with the soil and other organisms.
4. Pollen and Spores: Pollen and spore fossils are incredibly valuable for understanding past ecosystems. These microscopic particles can identify specific plant species and provide information about ancient plant distributions and pollination patterns.
5. Seeds and Fruits: Fossilized seeds and fruits give us insight into the reproductive strategies of ancient plants. By studying these fossils, scientists can infer how plants dispersed their seeds and interacted with animals for pollination and seed distribution.
6. Petrified Wood: Petrified wood is formed when minerals replace the organic matter in plant tissues, creating a stone-like representation of the original wood. These fossils provide a detailed view of plant cell structures and growth rings.
7. Impressions and Compression Fossils: Impressions are left behind when a plant decays and leaves a mark on the sediment. Compression fossils occur when the plant material is compressed and flattened over time. Both types can reveal intricate details of leaf venation, surface textures, and overall plant morphology.
8. Cuticles: The cuticle is the waxy outer layer of plant leaves that helps prevent water loss. Fossilized cuticles can offer insights into the adaptation of plants to different climates and atmospheric conditions.

Trace fossils, also known as ichnofossils, provide unique insights into the behaviors and activities of ancient organisms. Unlike body fossils that preserve actual parts of organisms, trace fossils capture the traces, tracks, burrows, and other marks left behind by animals as they interacted with their environment.

These fossils are like snapshots of prehistoric life, offering glimpses into the daily routines and ecological relationships of ancient creatures. They play a crucial role in helping us understand how organisms adapted to their surroundings, searched for food, evaded predators, and interacted with their fellow inhabitants of ancient ecosystems. Trace fossils are truly remarkable in their ability to provide a different perspective on the history of life on Earth.
