The Fossil Collection (Product Code: SLE/ES/06) is a selection of 15 fossils chosen to illustrate the major life forms that have existed throughout geologic history. A descriptive key sheet and a geologic time chart come with the specimens, so students can first learn what each fossil is and then place it in the correct era. It suits introductory geology, geography and biology classes where learners meet fossils for the first time, and it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India.

A common approach is a two-stage practical. In the first stage, students observe each fossil closely, note its shape, symmetry and texture, and use the descriptive key sheet to name it. In the second, they move to the geologic time chart and decide in which era that organism lived, building a simple timeline across the bench. Asking students to explain why some groups appear only in older rocks while others continue to the present opens a discussion of extinction and change over time.
The collection is a natural fit among biology teaching aids in India for evolution and classification lessons, as well as in geography units on sedimentary rocks. Handle specimens over a tray or soft mat, keep them dry, and clean them only with a soft brush; avoid water on fragile pieces and never use acids or detergents.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, sources and supplies specimen collections like this one from its base in Ambala, Haryana, as part of a wider catalogue of educational laboratory equipment. Read more on the company profile.

How many fossils are in the collection?
Fifteen, selected to represent major life forms across geologic history.
What printed material comes with it?
A descriptive key sheet for identification and a geologic time chart for matching each fossil to its era.
Can I see the list of specimens before ordering?
The individual species list is not in our current product notes. Contact us and we will confirm the contents with your quotation.
Is this collection suitable for beginners?
Yes. It is designed to introduce students to basic fossils. Senior classes that need broader coverage may prefer the Advanced Fossil Collection.
How should the fossils be stored?
Keep them dry and separated so they do not rub against each other; a compartment box works well.
What warranty applies?
These are natural specimens rather than instruments. Any replacement terms for damage in transit are confirmed with your quotation.
Can you supply several collections or ship overseas?
Yes. We handle multi-set orders for schools and distributors in India and international markets.
