Crystalized Welks (W3)
$360.00
Notes specific to this specimen: Fossil welks are much rarer than the clams found at Rucks Pit and most of them have no crystals. But, when you do find a nice crystal-line specimen, there’s nothing like it in the world! Here we have a nice matrix specimen with a natural opening on the side of the shell exposing gemmy dog-tooth calcite crystals. They don’t get much better than this!
SIZE: 4″
NAME: Mercenaria permagna
AGE: Pleistocene 2 million years
UNIT: Nashua Formation
SITE: Okeechobee County, Florida
