Fern Fossils - Neuropteris Fossil Ferns

These fossilised ferns are known as Neuropteris, and come sitting on a stone matrix.

These ferns date from the upper Carboniferous and are largely found in the Crock Hay open cast mine, near Wigan, UK.

They often come as positive and negative parts of a single nodule - a stone has been cracked in half and the fossil is in the middle.

Currently, we have:

#1 - 40x37x20MM approximately. This is a bit of a lower grade specimen with no well-defined fern fossils. A complete split nodule, in two halves.
#2 - 45x37x34MM approximately. This is a nice specimen with a single well defined fossil inclusion. A complete split nodule, in two halves.
#3 - 60x39x16MM approximately. This is a very nice specimen with several well preserved leaves. This is a single piece only, not a nodule.
#4 - 55x40x21MM approximately. A small area with one or two leaves - a little hard to see, but shows up well under direct light.
#5 - 48.5x32x20MM approximately. A positive and negative nodule with several leaves.
#6 - 35x34x11MM approximately. A single sided piece with nicely preserved leaves.
#7 - 37.5x35x19.5MM approximately. A positive and negative nodule filled with leaves.

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.
