Sorry but I do not know much about fossils so please have a close look at the pictures.

These are sold to me by treasure hunters and some of these people are also Tektite hunters.

This Pupa is from the Quezon Province and NOT from Quezon City! My suppliers told me that they were found along the beach or lake shores and were apparently run offs from nearby mountains during typhoons or landslides and believe me there have been plenty of typhoons and floodings lately!

I was told that these were Beetle Lavae or Pupa but really Im not too sure. They look like something from underwater and it resembles some kind of worm or coral to me. Again, Im not an expert with fossils.

The larger specimen is apparently the largest that these things grow to and rarely do they grow any bigger.

The smaller specimen has a portion that looks like some sort for snail shell.

Some of these specimens are found to have a hollow tube inside them but I don’t think my specimen does.

These are quite heavy and looks like some sort of crystal fossilized material???

If anyone knows what these things are, by all means please enlighten me.

I only have two of these and the other specimen I will be keeping just because these are so weird. So this is the only one that you might see on ebay ever until another is offered to me.

Please also see my other Meteorite/Tektite and Meg Teeth listings.

All my listings can be returned for a full refund minus the shipping cost.
