The Dactylioceras ammonite lived during the Early Jurassic period, around 180 to 175 million years ago, when the area now known as Whitby was covered by a warm, shallow sea. When these sea creatures died, their shells sank to the seabed and were gradually buried by layers of mud. Over millions of years, this mud turned to shale, preserving the shells as fossils.

The woolly mammoth is one of the most iconic animals of the Ice Age. These massive, shaggy relatives of today’s elephants once roamed across all continents, thriving in icy environments that most animals would find un-habitable. Towering up to 13 feet tall at the shoulder and weighing as much as six tonnes, woolly mammoths were true giants, perfectly adapted to survive in a frozen world.

Imagine a shark so large it could bite a whale in half!? The Megalodon, whose name literally means "big tooth," was the largest shark to ever live. Though it went extinct millions of years ago, this prehistoric predator continues to spark curiosity among fossil hunters, marine biologists and even fans of over-the-top films like The Meg. Let’s explore the truth behind the Megalodon’s size, teeth & hunting habits, and why some people still believe it’s hiding deep in the Marian

One of the most easily recognisable features of Cleoniceras ammonites is their symmetrical spiral shell and visible sutures that run across the surface. Sutures are wavy lines where the inner walls of the shell met the outer shell, which form beautiful natural patterns. Most Cleoniceras fossils are between 5 to 15 cm in diameter, but some can be much larger. When polished the internal structure of these fossils reveals a chambered design, which was used by the living animal t

Ammolite is where science meets art, a gemstone created by time, pressure and nature’s own design. This is one of the world’s rarest and most colourful gemstones, but what makes it truly fascinating is that it's actually made from the fossilized shells of ancient marine creatures known as ammonites. Found almost exclusively in the Bearpaw Formation of Alberta, Canada, mining here is very regulated & restricted, making the already rare mineral even more limited! Ammolite is

It can be overwhelming entering the world of crystal healing & energy, especially when there can be confusion over certain words & phrases. I thought it would be helpful to clarify what some of these actually mean & hopefully simplify it a little for you.

Spinosaurus is one of the most fascinating & unusual dinosaurs ever discovered. Living around 95 to 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, Spinosaurus roamed what is now North Africa in countries like Egypt & Morocco. A Spinosaurus dinosaur was actually the longest therapod dinosaur, even longer than the famous T-Rex, growing up to 18 metres long and was tall as a male giraffe!

Baltic Amber is a type of organic fossil, meaning it's made from once-living material (tree resin) rather than minerals like most crystals and gemstones. Over 44–50 million years, this sticky resin from ancient trees hardened and fossilized, preserving its form.

The Campo del Cielo meteorite is one of the most famous and significant iron Meteorite finds in the world.

The Sikhote-Alin meteorite fell in 1947, in the Sikhote-Alin mountains in Russia (meteorites tend to be named after where they fell). This is quite a famous meteorite fall because of the large size & that it fell less than 100 years ago, meaning it could be properly documented when it happened – we even know that it impacted at 10:38am in the morning.

Chondrite is a form of stony meteorite, which has much less metal unlike many other meteorites. They are actually some of the oldest materials in the solar system, they represent the building blocks of planets & help to give an insight into how planets formed and the evolution of the solar system.

Libyan Desert Glass is one of the most mysterious and beautiful natural glasses on Earth. Libyan Desert Glass This is classed as an Impactite, which would have formed when a Meteor exploded in Earth’s atmosphere or struck the surface, releasing extreme heat & melting the desert sand which resulted in the glass.

Moldavite is a form of tektite, which is formed when a meteorite strikes the earth's surface, it generates a huge amount of heat & pressure, which will vaporise & melt the surrounding rocks and soil. This results in super-heated debris flying into the atmosphere, while it is in the atmosphere is cools and solidifies into this glass like form as it falls back to Earth.

Colombianite, which is officially classed as Pseudotektite. There is debate as to how this was formed & whether it is a usual tektite (which forms when meteorite hits the earth) or if it formed from a super volcano erupting similar to obsidian.

Indochinite refers specifically to black or dark brown tektites found in the Indochina region, which includes Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and southern China.
