Crystalized Welks (W4)
$535.00
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 natural window on the top side of the shell exposing beautiful gemmy dog-tooth calcite crystals on the inside. Also has a well-defined protoconch (the “tip” where the shell began). They don’t get much better than this!
SIZE: 5″
NAME: Mercenaria permagna
AGE: Pleistocene 2 million years
UNIT: Nashua Formation
SITE: Okeechobee County, Florida
Documentation: This authentic fossil specimen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and Origin. In addition, an attractive and informative display card accompanies the specimen.
