1 FOSSIL FISH # 9F01 This fossil fish stamp tool comes from the Green River Shale formation of Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. 50 million years ago this area was covered by a large tropical fresh water lake teaming with an abundance of fish and aquatic life. This particular species of fish is Priscacara Liops ( pris ca cara li ops ) and is quite abundant in the shale formation. Density of fossils in this formation suggest that Priscacara swam in schools. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 18 x 9 (45.7 x 22.8 cm) with a light slate texture. PCI # 9F01 Tool Size 18 x 9

2 NOTHOSAUR # 9F02 This particular species of Nothosaur is known as Keichousaurus Hui ( kei chou saur us hui ) and was a marine reptile, with a long serpentine neck and tail, it lived in the warm tropical waters of the Triassic Period. Keichousaurus is a genus of marine reptiles from the pachypleurosaur family which went extinct at the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event 201 million years ago. The name derives from Kweichow in China where the first fossil of this species was discovered. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 27 x 20 (68.5 x 50.8 cm) with a light slate texture. PCI # 9F02 Tool Size 27 x 20

3 PROCOLOPHON # 9F03 Procolophon ( pro co lo phon ) was a genus of lizard-like reptile, a herbivore with peg like teeth, it is quite possibly an early ancestor to all turtles and tortoises. This particular species, Procolophon Trigoniceps, was first described by Owen in1876, and survived through the Permian Triassic extinction event, 252 million years ago and thrived into the Early Triassic Period. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 18 x 9 (45.7 x cm) with a light to medium slate texture.. PCI # 9F03 Tool Size 18 x 9

4 PTERODACTYL ANTIQUUS # 9F10 The late Jurassic Period,161 to 145 million years ago, had some of the most interesting creatures ever known. This winged carnivorous dinosaur, Pterodactyls Antiquus ( ptero dact yl an tiqu us ) discovered in the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, Germany and was the first pterosaur species to be named and identified as a flying reptile. The concrete stamping tool replicates the fossilized bones of this creature in a positive format surrounded by a slate texture. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 45 x 39 (114.3 x 99 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F10 Tool Size 45 x 39

5 ARCHAEOPTERYX # 9F13 Originally discovered in a limestone quarry in Germany the Archaeopteryx (arch ae op ter yx ) is the earliest and most primitive bird known. Despite its small size, broad wings, and inferred ability to fly or glide, Archaeopteryx has more in common with small theropod dinosaurs than it does with modern birds. This dinosaur with feathers that lived during the late Jurassic Period is a clear candidate for a transitional fossil between dinosaurs and birds, this concrete stamp tool replicates the bones and feathers in a positive format. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 45 x 34 (114.3 x 86.4 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F13 Tool Size 45 x 34

6 PHAREODUS # 9F14 We find the origins of this fossil fish in the Green River Formation of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah dating back to the Eocene era, 56 to 33.9 million years ago. At the time much of the area was covered by a large tropical fresh water lake teaming with an abundance of fish. The sediments of the Green River Formation show a continuous fossil record of approximately six million years. This particular specimen is 13 long and is a member of the species Phareodus ( phar e o dus ) the predecessor of modern day perch. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 27 x 14 (68.6 x 35.6 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F14 Tool Size 27 x 14

7 DIPLOMYSTUS DENTATUS # 9F15 This fossil fish, is a member of the species Diplomystus Dentatus ( di plo my stus den ta tus ) and is yet another species of fossil fish from the Green River Formation of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah dating back to the Eocene era, 56 to 33.9 million years ago. Diplomystus is an extinct genus of freshwater clupeomorph fish. The genus was first named and described in 1877 and includes seven named species that are distantly related to modern day herrings and sardines. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 27 x 14 (68.6 x 35.6 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F15 Tool Size 27 x 14

8 TURTLE # 9F16 Turtles are characterized by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. The term "Turtle" may refer to the order as a whole or to fresh-water and seadwelling testudines which includes both living and extinct species. The earliest known members of this group date from the early Triassic Period, 220 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups. There are 356 known species of turtles alive today, with some highly endangered. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 32 x 18 (81.3 x 45.7 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F16 Tool Size 32 x 18

9 FOSSIL SEA FLOOR # 9F17 This concrete stamping tool creates a classic replication of the fossilized lake bottom from the Green River Formation of the Eocene era, 56 to 33.9 million years ago. The depiction here is two fossilized fish from the extinct genus Priscacara ( pris ca ca ra ) along with ammonites and clams in a slate texture. The fossil record indicates that these fish swam in schools, due to the abundance and density of their fossils. These Priscacara are related to modern day perch and are each approximately 7 long by 4. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 30 x 18 (76.2 x 45.7 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F17 Tool Size 32 x 18

10 SHUNOSAURUS # 9F18 The Shunosaurus ( shun o saur us ) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Jurassic Period approximately 170 million years ago. First discovered and excavated in 1977 by a group of students studying paleontology in the Sichuan Province in southwest China. The Shunosaurus neck length indicates that was a low browser and the design of its jaws shows that it was well-adapted to processing large amounts of plant material. The saurapod family of dinosaurs represents some of the largest creatures to ever roam the earth, such as the Diplodocus and Apatosaurus. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 30 x 20 (76.2 x 50.8 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F18 Tool Size 30 x 20

11 TRILOBITE Lichida # 9F19 Four Trilobites ( tri lo bites ) representing the Order Lichida, an order of typically spiny trilobite that lived from the Furongian to the Devonian Period. Trilobites represent a large group of extinct marine arthropods that thrived from the lower Cambrian thru the Devonian Period, the last of the Trilobite species disappeared in the mass global extinction at the end of the Permian Period. The easily fossilized exoskeletons created an extensive fossil record with over 18,000 known species of Trilobites spanning some 300 million years. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 20 x 14 (50.8 x 35.5 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F19 Tool Size 20 x 14

12 TRILOBITE Corynexochida # 9F20 Ammonite with a pair of trilobites ( tri lo bites ) from the Order Corynexochida, an order of trilobite that lived from the Lower Cambrian to the Middle Devonian Period. Trilobites represent a large group of extinct marine arthropods that thrived from the lower Cambrian thru the Devonian Period, the last of Trilobite species disappeared in the mass global extinction at the end of the Permian Period. The easily fossilized exoskeletons created an extensive fossil record with over 18,000 known species of Trilobites spanning some 300 million years. The concrete stamping tool has an overall approximate size of 20 x 14 (50.8 x 35.5 cm) with a light to medium slate texture. PCI # 9F20 Tool Size 20 x 14

13 LARIOSAURUS # 9F21 Lariosaurus (lario sar us) is one of the smallest known nothosaurs with a length of just 2 feet ( 0.61 meters ) it hails from the Middle Triassic Period, 250 to 200 million years ago, and is known throughout Europe and Asia. Lariosaurus was primitive compared to its relatives, possessing a short neck and small flippers. The front limbs were more suited to swimming and the hind limbs more suited to a life on land. First discovered in the 1830 s near Lake Como in Italy it was named in 1847 by G. Curioni, its name meaning "Lizard from Larius", the ancient name of the lake. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 23 x 30 (58.5 x 76 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F21 Tool Size 23 x 30

14 DEINOSUCHUS # 9F22 Deinosuchus (dein o su chus) is an extinct genus related to the alligator that lived during the late Cretaceous Period, 145 to 66 million years ago. The name translates as "terrible crocodile". The first fossils were discovered in North Carolina in the 1850s. Although Deinosuchus was far larger than any modern crocodile or alligator, with the largest adults measuring 35 feet its overall appearance was fairly similar to its smaller relatives still living today. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 25 x 48 (63.5 x 122 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F22

15 EOMAIA # 9F23 Eomaia scansoria, (e o mai a scan sor ia) is the only species of this extinct genus of fossil mammals. This small primitive mammal was only discovered recently in rocks of the Yixian Formation, Liaoning Province, China, these rocks have been dated to the Lower Cretaceous Period, approximately 145 to 100 million years ago. The Eomaia is only known from a single fossil specimen which is virtually complete. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 17 x 22 (34 x 56 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F23 Tool Size 17 x 22

17 SINORNIS # 9F25 From the early Cretaceous Period, approximately 120 million years ago. Sinornis ( si nor nis) is a genus of enantiornithean birds. Found in the Jiufotang Formation of China in the late 20th century. This newly discovered avian creature shares primitive features of the Archaeopteryx along with traits of modern birds, and is considered possibly the second most primitive of all birds. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 17 x 22 (34 x 56 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F25 Tool Size 17 x 22

18 CORYTHOSAURUS # 9F26 Corythosaurus (cory tho saur us) is a type of hadrosaurid commonly known as a "duck-billed" dinosaur. It lived in what is now North America during the Upper Cretaceous Period, approximately 76 million years ago. It was first named and described by Barnum Brown in 1914 from the nearly complete specimen he found in Red Deer River, Alberta, Canada in The name as derived from ancient Greek and means "helmet lizard". The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 25 x 48 (63.5 x 122 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F26 Tool Size 25 x 48

19 BLASTOIDEA # 9F27 Blastoidea (blas toi dea ) is an extinct type of echinoderms, a group of marine animals with no freshwater or terrestrial relatives. Originating in the Ordovician Period, 485 to 444 million years ago, along with many other echinoderm classes, they reached their greatest diversity in the Mississippian, or early Carboniferous Period, and persisted until the great extinction at the end of Permian Period. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 14 x 24 (35.5 x 61 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F27 Tool Size 14 x 24

20 CYSTOIDEA # 9F28 Cystoidea (cys toid ea) represent a class of extinct echinoderms, these creatures lived attached to the sea floor by stalks. They lived in the Paleozoic Era, 541 to 252 million years ago and were wiped out with the Great Permian Extinction, the largest extinction event in the history of Earth. Modern echinoderms include sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers, as well as the sea lilies. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 14 x 24 (35.5 x 61 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F28 Tool Size 14 x 24

21 RAPAXAVIS # 9F29 Rapaxavis (ra pax avis) was only recently discovered in the 21st century in the Jiufotang Formation of Northeastern China. It existed in an extremely birdfilled forested environment during the early Cretaceous Period, 146 to 100 million years ago. Rapaxavis is part of an extinct group of Enantiornithe Avians, commonly known as toothed birds, and represented some of the most common birds during the age of dinosaurs with sizes ranging from as small as a modern day sparrow to as large a turkey. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 42 x 42 (106.7 x cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F29 Tool Size 42 x 42

22 RAPTOR NEST # 9F30 Raptor Nest with fossilized embryos of a therapod dinosaur. Theropods first appeared during the late Triassic Period 230 million years ago. In the Jurassic, birds evolved from small specialized coelurosaurian theropods, and are today represented by about 10,500 living bird species. Modern colonizing birds usually space their nests one full adult body length apart. This same trait is also apparent in fossilized nesting areas. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 24 x 32 (61 x 81 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F30 Tool Size 24 x 32

23 MACROPLATA # 9F31 Macroplata (macro plata) was an extinct aquatic basal plesiosaur of the Early Jurassic Period, 201 to 174 million years ago, which grew up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) in length. Like other plesiosaurs, Macroplata probably lived on a diet of fish, using its sharp needle-like teeth to catch prey. Its bones indicate that it was fast and powerful swimmer. Macroplata had a relatively long neck, usually twice the length of the skull, differentiating itself from pliosaurs of the time. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 42 x 42 (106.7 x cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F31 Tool Size 42 x 42

24 STAR FISH # 9F32 Star Fish or sea stars, first appeared in the Middle Ordovician Period approximately 450 million years ago however, the fossil record is somewhat sparse as the bodies of dead star fish have a tendency to disintegrate rapidly. The star-shaped echinoderms belong to the class Asteroidea. Star fish have diversified into about 1500 species and are found throughout the Earth s oceans from intertidal zones to the extreme depths of deep abyssal ocean canyons. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 18 x 24 (45.7 x 61 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F32 Tool Size 18 x 24

25 BRITTLE STAR # 9F33 Brittle Stars or ophiuroids are echinoderms closely related to star fish. They first appeared in the Ordovician Period 485 million years ago. Ophiuroids generally have five long, slender, whip-like arms. These Brittle Stars have now evolved into more than 2000 species still living today thru out the oceans of the world. The concrete stamping tool has an overall size of 18 x 24 (45.7 x 61 cm) with a medium slate texture. PCI # 9F33 Tool Size 18 x 24
