Fossil Mall Fossils for Sale

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved. - Charles Darwin's last words in "Origin of Species by means of natural selection" - circa 1859

Over the past 3 1/2 billion years of geologic time since life appeared on earth, some 4 trillion species of organisms may have existed, most microscopic. Descent with modification, or evolution, resulted in many forms most wonderful and beautiful, as Darwin stated. Some of these faded away, like the extinct trilobites, others merely diminished, like the still extant crinoids, and still many others perished in one of many major extinctions. A magnificent fossil record has been left behind to inspire wonder. From stromatolites created by ancient bacteria, to ammonites, fossil fish, fossil insects, crinoids, fossil mammals and dinosaurs, Fossils of mysterious creatures and fossil amber, the fossil dealers at fossil mall.com strive to match the amazing diversity of this "life once animated". Many of the fossils for sale are rare or exotic fossils worthy of display in any museum.
