Mesozoic Era, 250-65 million years BP. A fossil collection comprising: an Ichthyosaur paddle bone section; five various ammonites; a polished wood slice; a small section of dinosaur rib; a fish; a shark tooth (all from the UK ); two Mosasaurus teeth and two shark teeth from Morocco. 1.4 kg, 2.5-12.5cm (1-5"). From an old Lincoln, UK, collection.[14, No Reserve] Fine condition.
Eocene Period, 58-36 million years BP. Three Knightia alta fossil fish from Wyoming (Green River Formation), USA in matrix. 157 grams, 15cm (6"). From the Pradi Collection, Boston, USA; acquired during 1980s. Seasonally, some 58 million years ago, in the Green River region of Wyoming, torrential rains would occur in the mountains. The rain would flow down the mountain sides and then wide shallow lakes would form in the valley below. When the dry season would occur these lakes would dry up due to evaporation (similar to certain parts of Africa today"). Millions of fish would die in this short period of time. This climatic cycle happened over a 20 thousand year period. Layer upon layer of mud was deposited over these years entombing all these fish. At a much later date volcanic activity uplifted this area to expose all those layers of fossil fish. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
A large amethyst geode, with large crystals to the front of the opening creating a large, crystal-lined hollow within. See Bonewitz, Dr. Ronald Louis, Rocks & Minerals, 2008, p.222-223.13.9 kg, 33cm (13"). From Brazil, from the historic ‘Victorian Museum’ and later collection of Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd (Gregory's); formerly Gregory, Bottley & Co. (1932-1981) and previously J. R. Gregory & Co. (1898-1932); originally 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 firm Gregory, Bottley and Lloyd (Gregory's), was acquired by TimeLine Auctions in 2016. London-born James Reynolds Gregory (1832-1899) founded the company, which is the second longest-running gem and fossil dealership in the world. James was educated at Archbishop Tennison's School, and afterward found employment in a jewellery company on Regent Street. In 1858 he established his own business in King William Street. A few years later he moved to ‘very extensive premises’ in Golden Square, Covent Garden. He was one of the best known dealers in London, exhibiting at major commercial shows throughout the world and winning awards for excellence in Paris in 1867, Sydney in 1879 and London in 1862, 1883 and 1884. James primarily bought his stock at auction, from collectors and other dealers, and supplied many major collectors and scientists of his day. He built superb personal collections, a selection going to the British Museum. He wrote many papers and was a member of several learned societies including the Society of Arts. The business became known as J.R. Gregory & Company in 1896, still under James' management with the assistance of his son Albert Gregory (b.1864"). When James died three years later, the business passed to Albert. At the end of the 19th century most London dealers had folded or retired, many selling out to J.R. Gregory & Co. Albert continued by acquiring Russell and Shaw (Est. 1848) in 1925 and Francis H. Butler (Est. 1884) in 1927. Percy Bottley (1904-1980) took over the company in 1931, renaming it Gregory, Bottley & Company with respect to his predecessors. Percy’s company survived the 2nd World War by buying out all of its competitors, including the supplier to Pitt-Rivers, Samuel Henson (Est. 1840) and G.H. Richards (Est. 1897) in 1936. Percy also added many important collections to his stock including those of Rev. F. Holmes in 1940, and the Graves collection in 1943. Following Percy's death in 1981, the business was sold to Brian Lloyd, whereupon it became Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd. Brian had been Sotheby’s main Natural History expert in the 1960s and 1970s, and subsequently traded from Pall Mall. The business continued to thrive, and Brian purchased the Joseph Neeld (1789-1856) collection in 1974 and the historic gold collection of H.S. Gordon, first exhibited at the Empire Exhibition, South Africa in 1936. Brian moved the business to 12-13 Rickett Street in 1982, and to 13 Seagrave Road in 1993. He carried on the company's specialization in historic collections, most recently acquiring that of Robert Ferguson (1767-1840) in 2000. The business moved to Walmer in Kent in 2008, and was acquired by TimeLine in April 2016. Trading History Est. 1858 (59 Frith Street, Soho) 1859 - 1861 (3 King William Street, Strand) 1862 - 1866 (25 Golden Square, Covent Garden) 1866 - 1874 (15 Russell Street, Covent Garden) 1874 - 1895 (88 Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square) 1896 - 1906 (1 Kelso Place, Kensington) 1907 - 1926 (139 Fulham Road, Chelsea) 1926 - 1981 (30 (Old) Church Street, Chelsea) 1982 - 1993 (12-13 Rickett Street, Fulham) 1993 - 2007 (13 Seagrave Road, Fulham) 2008 - 2016 (59 Liverpool Road, Walmer, Kent) 2016 - (363 Main Road, Harwich, Essex) Extremely fine condition.
Eocene Period, 58-36 million years BP. Three Knightia alta fossil fish from Wyoming (Green River Formation), USA, in matrix. 238 grams, 14cm (5 1/2"). From the Pradi Collection, Boston, USA; acquired during 1980s. Seasonally, some 58 million years ago, in the Green river region of Wyoming, torrential rains would occur in the mountains.

Eocene Period, 58-36 million years BP. A fossil Diplomystus fish from the Green River Formation, Lincoln County, Wyoming. 759 grams, 24cm (9 1/2"). From an old Lincoln, UK, collection. In southwest Wyoming (and parts of Colorado and Utah) in the Green River Formation are found some of the world's most outstanding specimens of fossil fish. The Green River system was composed of three lakes: Lake Ulinta, Lake Gosiute and Fossil Lake. These Eocene lakes lay in a series of intermountain basins formed by geological events that uplifted the Rocky Mountains during the early Tertiary time. The climate was much different from the desert-like climate of this area today. Both the fauna (crocodiles, alligators, boa constrictors and some subtropical fish families) and the flora (such as large palm trees) indicate a climate much like that found along the Gulf Coast today. Large quantities of ash found in the sediments indicate that volcanoes were particularly active at this time. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
Upper Cretaceous Period (Campanian), 76-75 million years BP. A large Lambeosaurus sp. dinosaur fossil vertebra, from the Judith River Formation, Montana, North America. 1.1 kg, 13cm (5 1/4"). From the Pradi Collection, Boston, USA; acquired during 1980s. Lambeosaurus is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur, bipedal or quadrupedal and herbivorous, known for its distinctive hollow cranial crest, which in the best-known species resembled a hatchet. Fine condition.
Miocene Period, 23-5.3 million years BP. A mortality insect plate with two dragonfly nymphs, Libelluladoris sp. (dragonfly “skimmer”) together with a fossil leaf from Piedmont area, Italy, in a glazed display box. 81 grams, 11cm (box) (4 1/4"). From an old Bristol paleontological collection, acquired 1950s-1960s.[No Reserve] Fine condition.
Eocene Period, 58-36 million years BP. A fossil Priscacaraliops sp. fish in matrix from the Green River Formation, Lincoln County, Wyoming, USA. 602 grams, 20cm (8").

Jurassic Period, 199-145 million years BP - Upper Cretaceous Period, 70-80 million years BP. A group of three fossil dinosaur bones comprising: a Hadrosaur vertebra from Judith River Formation, Havre, Montana; a Triceratops head frill bone from Lance Creek Formation, Weston County, Wyoming; an Allosaurus femur section with a polished face from the Morrison Formation, Big Horn Basin Ranch, Wyoming, USA. 1.1 kg, 8.5-15cm (3 1/2 - 6"). From the Pradi Collection, Boston, USA; acquired during 1980s.[3, No Reserve] Fine condition.
Middle Jurassic, Inferior Oolite, 174-166 million years BP. A large British Euhoploceras modestum (Buckman) fossil ammonite from Sherborne, Dorset, UK. 1.2 kg, 19cm (7 ½"). Ex Colin White collection, UK; collected from various sites in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s; thence by descent. Original data card.[No Reserve] Fine condition.
Eocene Period, 50 million years BP. A large fossil specimen of the Notogoneus osculus fish from the Green River Formation, Lincoln County, Wyoming, USA. 2.4 kg, 20x39cm (8 x 15 1/2"). From the Pradi Collection, Boston, USA; acquired during 1980s. Notogoneus was a predator and the down-turned mouth is probably an indicator that it fed on prey at the lakes bottom. It is thought that it's scarcity results from the fact that it is felt it migrated between the lake and the rivers that fed it throughout the year to feed. Fine condition. Rare.
Jurassic Period, Inferior Oolite, Bajocian Stage,168 million years BP. Two fossil Clypeus ploti, sea urchin, displayed together on a matrix; from Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire, UK. 2.8 kg, 21 cm (8 1/4").
