Naraoia arthropod fossils
Naraoia was a trilobite-like arthropod which lived from the early Cambrian to the late Silurian.
Naraoia was originally thought to be a crustacean, until scientists found specimens which had fossilised in three dimensions and reclassified it as an arthoropod, likely an early branch of the trilobite lineage.
Naraoia have been found within the Burgess Shale of Canada and several other world famous locales for fossils. Soft tissues do not often preserve often, only other very specific conditions.
There have been discussions as to whether it should be considered a 'soft bodied' trilobite, but should probably be considered 'trilobite-like'.
Our current stock includes:
- #1 - 60.6x50.6x15.2MM - from the Chengjiang biota, China, from the Cambrian. Exports of fossils from China are now restricted; this is from an old collection.
- #2 - 75.7x65x20.2MM - from the Chengjiang biota, China, from the Cambrian. Exports of fossils from China are now restricted; this is from an old collection.
Frequently asked questions and delivery information
How do we grade stones?
There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.
How does our ordering and delivery process work?
You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.
I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.
How do international orders work?
After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
I’d like to return my order for a refund.
No problem at all – just get in touch and we’ll arrange it. You can read our full returns policy here.
What payment methods do you accept?
I can accept Paypal, Stripe, cheque, and direct bank transfers. Paypal and Stripe will both allow you to pay with credit and debit cards.
You can get in touch via our contact page with any questions. 🙂
