20th century AD. A museum-quality plaster reproduction of a moonfish Mene rhombea from the Middle Eocene (45 million years BP) of Monte Bolca, about 30 kilometers north-east of Verona, Italy. 583 grams, 18.5cm (7 1/4"). Property of a Lincolnshire, UK, gentleman; acquired on the UK art market. Mene rhombea was a perciform fish belonging to the family Menidae (moonfish"). During the Middle Eocene about 48 to 40 million years ago, these fishes lived in the Tethys Ocean, a large tropical sea in the area corresponding to the current Mediterranean. This ocean extended between the continents of Gondwana and Laurasia. Mene rhombea had a laterally compressed body, very long and slim pelvic fins and a wide triangular tail fin. As suggested by their fossils’ small, upturned mouths, and by comparison of its living relative, Mene maculata, fishes of this species were planktivore. The species shows close affinities with contemporary species inhabiting the coral reef environment of the Indo-Pacific warm seas. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

199-175 million years BP. A rare partial fossil fish Daepedium sp. in matrix, from Holtzmaden, Germany. 2 kg, 35cm (13 3/4"). Property of a Lincolnshire, UK, gentleman; acquired on the UK art market. The specimen displays some nice scales and head bone plates. The Dapedium genus of fish was among the most common in the seas of the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic. The body was covered with armoured scales while the skull was also armoured with dermal plates. The fins were small in relation to its body, which suggests that Dapedium were not especially fast swimming fish. Dapedium was a carnivorous fish with small but robust teeth and additional crushing teeth on the palate. A solitary predator, it lived on a diet of molluscs and crustaceans.

Jurassic Period, 199-145 million years BP. A segment of fossil spines in a calcareous claystone matrix, from a spiny-finned fish, with several still attached to vertebrae, and which have disarticulated and rotated, 816 grams, 13.2cm (5 1/4"). From a historic ‘Victorian Museum’ collection; from the stock of Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd (1981-2014); formerly with Gregory, Bottley & Co. (1932-1981) and previously with J. R. Gregory & Co. (1898-1932); originally in the collection of the famous James Reynolds Gregory (1858-1898"). This item is part of a historic collection of fossils and minerals which has recently been reviewed by leading geological expert Dr. Ronald Bonewitz. James Reynolds Gregory (1832-1899) was one of the principle London mineral and fossil dealers during the second half of the 19th century. The company he founded was one of the longest surviving geological suppliers in the world, second only to Kranz of Germany. In 1858 James Gregory established his business selling polished stones, minerals and fossils from premises in King William Street. A few years later he moved to premises in Golden Square, Soho. He won prize medals at exhibitions in Paris (1867), Sydney (1879) and London (1862 and 1883"). He also formed a superb collection of meteorites, which was later sold by his sons to the Natural History Museum, London. On the death of his father in 1899 Albert Gregory took over the business, dealing from premises in Kensington, then 30 Old Church Street in Chelsea. He eventually sold the company in 1932 to Percy Bottley, and after his death in 1982 the premises were sold. The company was then acquired by Brian Lloyd who had started the Natural History sales at Sotheby's before dealing from his own premises in Pall Mall. Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd, as it became known, traded from Ricket Street and later Seagrave Road in Fulham. In 2008 the business and all of the stock and Victorian cabinets were moved out of London to Walmer in Kent. On the eventual retirement of Brian and Mary Lloyd in 2014, with none of their family interested in taking over the business, the stock was sold and is now dispersed. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

Eocene Period, 50 million years BP. A group of ten fossil brachiopods Atrypa sp. also sometimes referred to as 'lamp shells' in reference to their resemblance to ancient oil lamps; some retain original shell material, with handwritten note reading: 'Oxford Clay Fossils, Jordan Cliff, Dorset, 6.6.50'. 712 grams, 43-56mm (1 3/4 - 2 1/4"). From a historic ‘Victorian Museum’ collection; from the stock of Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd (1981-2014); formerly with Gregory, Bottley & Co. (1932-1981) and previously with J. R. Gregory & Co. (1898-1932); originally in the collection of the famous James Reynolds Gregory (1858-1898"). This item is part of a historic collection of fossils and minerals which has recently been reviewed by leading geological expert Dr. Ronald Bonewitz. The Oxford Clay is Jurassic in age and is found across much of southern England. James Reynolds Gregory (1832-1899) was one of the principle London mineral and fossil dealers during the second half of the 19th century. The company he founded was one of the longest surviving geological suppliers in the world, second only to Kranz of Germany. In 1858 James Gregory established his business selling polished stones, minerals and fossils from premises in King William Street. A few years later he moved to premises in Golden Square, Soho. He won prize medals at exhibitions in Paris (1867), Sydney (1879) and London (1862 and 1883"). He also formed a superb collection of meteorites, which was later sold by his sons to the Natural History Museum, London. On the death of his father in 1899 Albert Gregory took over the business, dealing from premises in Kensington, then 30 Old Church Street in Chelsea. He eventually sold the company in 1932 to Percy Bottley, and after his death in 1982 the premises were sold. The company was then acquired by Brian Lloyd who had started the Natural History sales at Sotheby's before dealing from his own premises in Pall Mall. Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd, as it became known, traded from Ricket Street and later Seagrave Road in Fulham. In 2008 the business and all of the stock and Victorian cabinets were moved out of London to Walmer in Kent. On the eventual retirement of Brian and Mary Lloyd in 2014, with none of their family interested in taking over the business, the stock was sold and is now dispersed. [10, No Reserve] Fine condition.
