  • Koi Fish in the backyard pond of Mr. Demello in Northern California. Koi are a variety of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Today Koi are bred in nearly every country and considered to be the most popular fresh-water ornamental pond fish. They are often referred to as being "living jewels" or "swimming flowers". If kept properly, koi can live about 30-40 years. Some have been reportedly known to live up to 200 years. The Koi hobbyists have bred over 100 color varieties. Every Koi is unique, and the patterns that are seen on a specific Koi can never be exactly repeated. The judging of Koi at exhibitions has become a refined art, which requires many years of understanding the relationship between color, pattern, size and shape, presentation, and a number of other key traits. Prize Koi can cost several thousand dollars  USA. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Very fine examples of fossilized ammonites, Sphenodiscus. The brilliant opalescent colors are due to mineral crystallization, which occurred during the fossilization process. This makes the fossils very valuable on the commercial market. The ammonites (subclass Ammonoidea) were marine mollusks, which had a clearly defined head with tentacles for gathering food. They first appeared in the Lower Devonian period (400 million years before present), becoming extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period (65 million years BP). (1991)

  • Part of a fossilized skeleton of a plesiosaur. The slightly lustrous quality of the 'bones' shows that they have been opalized - the original bone material replaced with opal (hydrous silicon oxide) to form the permanent fossil. The fossil is about 120 million years old, and was found in Australia. The plesiosaur was a marine carnivorous dinosaur that thrived in the mid to late Cretaceous Period. Photographed at a duty-free shop in Sydney, Australia. [1989].

  • Fossil fraud: Christian Ratsch, a fossil expert, holding a stone containing three fossilized trilobites. The three fossils are, themselves, genuine, but had been bonded together to raise their collective price. An amateur collector may not have noticed this fraud. The trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods, which lived between the Cambrian Era (570 million years before present) and the Permian Era (230 million years BP). Although generally small in size, averaging 8cm in length, some specimens of 70cm length have been seen. MODEL RELEASED (1991)

  • A very fine example of a fossilized ammonite (Hoploscathite). Although the shell itself has not been preserved, the internal nacre has survived, giving the opalescent 'mother of pearl' coating. Ammonites were a subclass of marine mollusks, which had a well-defined head with tentacles for feeding. They first appeared in the Lower Devonian period (400 million years Before Present), becoming extinct by the Upper Cretaceous period (65 million years BP). (1991)

  • Opalized fossil remains of the stomach of a plesiosaur. The stomach contents have been fossilized by replacement of the organic matter with tiny spheres of hydrous silicon oxide (opal). This allows paleontologists to study the diet of this marine dinosaur. As well as providing insights into its feeding habits, the stomach contents may give valuable clues as to the climate in the region in which the dinosaur lived some 120 million years ago. This specimen was found in Australia and is kept at the Sydney Museum.  [1989].
