Two Permian Amphibians (Sclerocephalus) - Pfalz, Germany

This is an incredible fossil amphibian (Sclerocephalus) plate. It is two Sclerocephalus, the larger 13.6" and the smaller 9.2". These are wonderfully preserved amphibians. Areas of skin, legs, and hands/feet can be clearly seen. The shale it is preserved on measures 17.0" x 15.5" and has been backed with fiberglass for stability. The fossil beds of Pfalz in southwestern Germany have yielded many spectacular Permian fossils for many years, but this location has been closed to collecting for decades - making such specimens increasingly rare on the market. The Rotliegendes series of mud and siltstones is renowned for its abundant fish and amphibian fossils and this stunning assemblage is a perfect representation of aquatic life that thrived in the area 285 million years ago.

Ms. Codex 1045 - Flavia

This incredibly tight manuscript features the historical tragedy Flavia, in five acts, about the Flavians and Christians in the Roman Empire. The action of the play is set at the end of the first century and the main characters are Domitian, Flavius Clemens, Apollonius of Tyana, and John the Evangelist. This tragedy was first performed in 1600 and originally published in Rome in 1621. The manuscript is in Latin (with a prologue in Italian) and was written in Italy around 1620.
