Advanced Fossil Collection (Product Code: SLE/GG/13) is a comprehensive set of 30 fossils chosen as demonstration specimens of animal phyla and plants from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. With a descriptive key sheet and a geologic time chart, it lets senior school and college students connect each specimen to its group and its place in Earth’s history. The collection is equally useful to geography, geology and biology departments, where it serves as one of the more detailed biology teaching aids for evolution topics. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

A common approach is to give each group a handful of specimens and ask them to identify the phylum or plant group using the descriptive key sheet, then place each fossil on the geologic time chart. When the whole class combines its results, the chart shows how life changed from the Paleozoic through the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic — a strong visual for lessons on evolution, extinction events and the idea of index fossils used to date rock layers.
Because the set spans both animals and plants across three eras, it also supports comparative work in biology, such as tracing how body plans within a phylum persist or change over time. Handle specimens over a tray or cloth-covered bench, keep the key sheet with the collection and count the pieces back in after each session so all 30 stay together.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, supplies this collection as part of its earth science and geography range. Since fossils are natural specimens, the company supplies rather than manufactures them, and it serves institutions across India and in international markets. More about the business is on our profile page.
These resources work well with the Advanced Fossil Collection in earth history lessons:
The full range is in our Geography Lab Equipment category.
How many fossils are in the collection, and from which eras?
Thirty fossils representing animal phyla and plants from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic.
How is it different from the General Fossil Collection?
The advanced set has 30 specimens organised around animal phyla and plants across three eras, while the General Fossil Collection has 15 fossils for introducing major life forms. Both include a key sheet and a geologic time chart.
Can I see the list of specimens before ordering?
Yes. Please request the current specimen list through our contact page before placing your order.
How should the fossils be handled and stored?
Handle them over a padded surface, avoid washing or scrubbing them, and store the collection dry with the key sheet so specimens stay matched to their descriptions.
Is this suitable for college laboratories?
Yes, its breadth across phyla and eras suits senior secondary and undergraduate teaching as well as museum-style displays in school labs.
Do you supply to institutions outside India?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Send the quantity and destination for a quotation.
