Fossil Hoard

These Brahin meteorite fragments come from the famed Brahin strewn field in Belarus, a site known for producing stunning pallasite meteorites. Brahin meteorites are unique because they are a type of stony-iron meteorite, featuring a beautiful blend of silicate crystals and metallic iron-nickel, making them one of the most visually striking types of space debris found on Earth.

Pallasites, like Brahin, formed at the boundary between the metal core and silicate mantle of a differentiated asteroid, offering a rare glimpse into the complex layers of these ancient celestial bodies. The translucent olivine crystals (often peridot) embedded in a metallic matrix are what make Brahin meteorites particularly desirable. Discovered in 1807, the Brahin meteorite find has yielded numerous specimens over the years, many of which showcase the exquisite green and yellow olivine crystals.

Just listed some beautiful Allosaurus teeth!

These allosaurus fossils are from Washakie County, WY. They were found in the Morrison Formation, an area in which Allosaurus was on the top of the food chain. It likely preyed upon large herbivores, though it may have targeted other predators as well. Its dozens of serrated teeth and 28 foot (8.5 meter) length would have made Allosaurus a formidable opponent for any dinosaur.
