A prime example of fossilized barnacles traced to the Paleozoic Era, Devonian Period (between 360 million to 410 million years ago). Barnacles play an important role in estimating paleo-water depths. A barnacle is a type of arthropod belonging to the infraclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea, and is hence related to crabs and lobsters. This specimen is perhaps of the Regerella species. Overall size measure 5 inches by 5 inches. Location: King George, VA.

A perfect example of a natural cast of Chesapecten jeffersonius, a scallop that lived during the Pliocene epoch between four and five million years ago on Virginia’s coastal plain. This particular specimen exposes the actual scallop organism while its shell deteriorated. In 1687, Martin Lister published a drawing of Chesapecten jeffersonius making it the first North American fossil to be illustrated in scientific literature. In 1993 the state of Virginia made it the official state fossil...

Fossilized ammonites are an extinct group of marine invertebrate animals in the class Cephalopoda of the subclass Ammonoidea of the order Anarcestida. Genus and species are unknown. These mollusks are more closely related to the squid and octopus. Overall measurement is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. Age: 360 million to 420 million years old (Devonian Period). Location: Richmond County, Virginia. Ryker box included. Note suture marks (showing growth over a period of time) on weathered area of fossil.

Petrified Wood is a fossil in which the organic remains have been replaced by minerals in the slow process of being replaced with stone. The petrifaction process generally results in a quartz chalcedony mineralization. Special rare conditions must be met in order for the fallen stem to be transformed into fossil wood or petrified wood...

Diploria labyrinthiformis, known by the common name grooved brain coral, is a species of stony coral in the family Faviidae. Found in tropical areas of the west Atlantic Ocean, it has an appearance that makes it familiar to many. This species of reef-building coral has a hemispherical, brain-like shape with a brown, yellow, or gray color. It has characteristic deep, interconnected double-valleys. These polyp-bearing valleys are each separated by grooved ambulacral ridges...
