A VICTORIAN MAHOGANY GRADUATED SEVEN DRAWER COLLECTORS CABINET with vertical hinged flaps, each drawer with individual contents including semi-precious stones, ancient arrow heads, pipes etc, 51 x 38cm Provenance: Mr Harold Spencer, Fellow of Geological Society and recipient of the Fullerton Award Born in Hampshire, Mr. Spencer moved to Suffolk at the age of four, and went to school at Felixstowe. He served during the 1914-18 War with the Machine Gun Corps. After the war, he did temporary and voluntary work for Ipswich Museum for five years before joining their full-time staff in 1925. As the first professional assistant appointed to the museum, he gained a wide knowledge of archaeology and geology working on a wide variety of collections. Mr. Spencer was made a Fellow of the Geological Society soon after the second world war. In 1957, he received the Fullerton award from the Geologists' Association of London, partly for research and partly in recognition of geological work done. In the same year he had the unusual distinction of having a new fossil species of tree named after him - Cercidiphyllum Spenceri, a specimen which he found in the London clay on the Orwell Shore at Bridge Wood.

Pliocene to Miocene Epoch, 4-7 million years BP. An exceptionally large Carcharocles megalodon shark tooth displaying good enamel and serrations, from the Hawthorne Formation, Morgan River, USA; supplied in a glazed display box. 408 grams, 14.5cm (5 3/4"). From an important Scottish collection of shark teeth; formerly in the collection of Paul Morrison; acquired from Fossil Shark Teeth Inc, Cody, USA; accompanied by the original invoice dated 8 November 2007.

Lot 656
Triassic Period, 250-200 million years BP. A beautifully prepared complete fossil of Keichousaurus hui on a matrix; from Xingyi, Guizhou, China. 886 grams, 28cm (11"). From an old Bristol palaeontological collection; acquired 1950s-1960s. Keichousaurus was a late-Triassic marine reptile, and a member of the Pleurosaur family, which went extinct 250 million years ago during the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. They were specialised fish eaters, and were highly unusual amongst marine reptiles in that they gave birth to live young rather than laying eggs. Fine condition.
Lot 171
Central/Eastern Asia, China, Early Cretaceous, ca. 126 to 101 million years ago. A fantastically preserved, near complete skeleton of Psittacosaurus, a ceratopsian dinosaur who lived in the area that is today Mongolia, Siberia, China, and Thailand. As adults, they stood on their powerful back legs, with their heads held high, as this example's pose demonstrates. Their skull resembles that of a parrot - indeed, that is the origin of the name, as parrots are Psittaciformes - with a pronounced beak. The skull of this example is particularly well preserved (see color inverted photo) and its form is very clear. Indeed, the Psittacosaurus skull is very interesting compared to other ornithischian dinosaurs, with an almost round profile and the eye placed relatively far down the snout. In life, scientists theorize that these animals had keratin around the bony beak, creating a blade-like form for cutting through plants. Size: 31.75" W x 13.25" H (80.6 cm x 33.7 cm); 14.5" H (36.8 cm) on included custom stand.Recent research has given us a better idea of what this animal would have looked like in life. A Psittacosaurus found in the Yixian Formation of eastern China had some preserved body covering, revealing that the animal was covered in scales and possibly feathers. Another study from two different fossil finds in 2016 revealed that the animal, which would have lived in dense forest, may have had counter shaded coloring, similar to deer, with stripes and spots that camouflaged it. The tail would have had a series of stiff bristles rising from it. In life, this creature would have had large eyes and an excellent sense of smell, its body evolved to evade predators as it browsed the Cretaceous forests. The dynamic pose you see it in here allows you to imagine it as it was in life. Provenance: A Coin Exchange, Tarzana, California, USA; bought from Richard Kosta, Los Angeles, California, USA, in 2008 Condition: Repaired and restored from many pieces. Less than 10% new material.

Lot 173c
Probably found in Oklahoma, New Mexico, or Texas, Permian Period, Cisuralian, ca. 280 to 270.6 million years ago. A beautifully preserved fossilized Captorhinus, an extinct reptile from the Early Permian period. This charming fellow has been posed in a lifelike posture on a sandstone slab. He demonstrates the bent limb joints of lizards, with a heavy skull, small teeth, and large sockets for his eyes. The Cisuralian period saw the emergence of beetles and flies into the evolutionary record, but these lizards primarly ate small amphibians. Their name, given to them Edward Cope in 1882, means "captor", or one who catches something, and "rhino", of the nose - the name based on Cope's belief that these lizards caught food with their long snouts. Size: 12.5" W x 2" H (31.8 cm x 5.1 cm) Provenance: A Coin Exchange, Tarzana, California, USA Condition: Displayed on a slab of sandstone. Fossil is protected by a very thin coat of plastic. Fossil is in nice condition with very limited restoration and a few small losses, mainly to spinal processes. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #146022
Lot 175
North America, probably Montana, Two Medicine Formation, or nearby, Upper Cretaceous, ca. 71,000,000 million years ago. A well-preserved fossilized egg from the hadrosauridae family, with the eggshell texture nicely preserved, with a cracked surface that is the result of the deposition process. A "window" - believed by researchers to be the result of the decay/putrefaction process - is visible on one side of the egg. The Hadrosaurids are also known as the duck-billed dinosaurs. Size: 5.75" W x 4.25" H (14.6 cm x 10.8 cm)The Two Medicine Formation is a geologic formation from 83.5 to 70.6 million years ago found in northwestern Montana and southern Alberta, east of the Rocky Mountains. It consists of deposits from the western shoreline of the Late Cretaceous Interior Seaway, mostly of sandstone. This interstitial zone between the nascent Rockies and the Seaway, where dinosaurs grazed and hunted along the shoreline, is one of our most fertile fossil-finding grounds, and many of our beloved dinosaur species originated in discoveries from this area. This location is famous for its hadrosaur finds, including the discovery of baby hadrosaurs and nesting sites in the early 1990s. These helped revolutionize thinking about dinosaurs, shifting them away from the old view as uncaring lizards to the currently accepted view of more bird-like creatures who lived in family units. Provenance: A Coin Exchange, Tarzana, California, USA Condition: Egg has been prepped, with its original matrix retained on the underside. The "window" has been sealed with a protective thin plastic coating. Small losses from eggshell surface. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #146017
