Thought to be an ancestor of the largest predatory shark to have ever lived the extinct Carcharodon Megalodon and its living relative todays Great White shark. These specimens are from the Early Eocene c 52 million years ago. The age of these teeth is approx, it is usually based upon the formation that the teeth were discovered in. These teeth were discovered in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, North Africa at a height of 11,000 feet. One of the earliest giant sharks, that may be the ancestor of most, if not all, living Mackeral Sharks. Megalodon, the largest predatory shark ever to have lived is a descendant of this giant shark. Its living relatives are the two current rulers of the open water, the White Pointer (Great White Shark) and the Blue Pointer (Mako Shark). We have several specimens on display. Mounted from £6, and necklace and pendents from £4.50.

All nice Goodies !

Fifty thousand years ago, the North Sea did not exist. The area between what are now the white cliffs of Dover and the Dutch sandy dunes was part of the continent of Europe and the natural habitat of woolly rhinos, Irish elks and other prehistoric marvels. On these fertile grounds they fed, fought, procreated and died for thousands of years. Then the ice came. The lowering of the earth’s temperature at around 25.000 B.C. caused the extinction of these fascinating creatures, their remains being buried by hundreds of meters of ice which covered the whole of northern Europe. Temperatures rose and melt began to set in at around 12.000 B.C., replacing the ice with water and so giving birth to the North Sea as we know it today. The remains of its old inhabitants were still there, however, now covered by a thin layer of sand and fathoms of salty water. Nowadays tidal currents cause the seabed to turn around, freeing the fossils from their sandy tome and causing them to get stuck in the sturdy nets of Dutch fishing boats that leave port every week, facing the dangers of the North Sea, to provide the world with the best that the sea has to offer. We have several pieces of Woolly Mammoth tusk (bark), prices starting from £4 - £20.
