  • Crystalized Clam (OK4)

    Notes specific to this specimen: There are two clams here in this piece of matrix – one inside the other – creating a double hollow with great dogtooth calcite crystals replacing the inner clamshell and some crystals in the outer one as well. A unique and rare find.

    SIZE: 6″x 4″x 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.

  • Crystalized Clam (OK5)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Great honey calcite crystals replacing multiple clam shells trapped in matrix. Some excellent radial calcite crystals here! This piece has a sawn flat bottom so it stands up nicely on its own.

  • Crystalized Clam (OK6)

    Crystalized fossil clams like this are exceptionally rare. These clams lived in a shallow sea that covered most of Florida 2 million years ago. A sudden storm event buried the clams, trapping cavities inside. When the shells began to dissolve, it provided the material necessary to grow calcite crystals in the open spaces. These unusual fossils are known from only one site, an old quarry near Lake Okeechobee. The quarry played out and flooded in 2007. We excavated this in 2023. An attractive and informative display card accompanies the specimen.

  • Crystalized Welks (W1)

    Notes specific to this specimen: At our Rucks Pit site we sometimes come across fossil welks (conchs).  On rare occasions they may be crystalized.  This one has been cut in half to show the great crystal-lined hollow section inside.  Rare find.

  • Dinosaur Bone (D21)

    Notes specific to this specimen: We learn a lot of stuff from studying the animals and plants of the past. Here’s a great example – It’s a little-known fact that bipedal dinosaurs were far more well-adapted to walking upright than humans have ever been. Modern medicine does, in fact, utilize this important attribute: When the time comes to stabilize someone’s back injury, doctors sometimes attach reinforcement rods to the vertebrae in the injured area and fuse it together with the bone. This exact type of reinforcement is something dinosaurs had already developed 200 million years ago!

     

    At our site in Wyoming we excavated mostly the bones of Edmontosaurus, a bipedal ornithischian dinosaur from the late Cretaceous. In the bonebed we found lots of backbones and, with them, hundreds of pieces of ossified tendon which Edmontosaurus had crisscrossing their vertebrae. These tendons strengthened and reinforced the skeleton, stabilizing their backbone especially in the area of the pelvis. Here we are offering genuine pieces of ossified tendon – mounted on the very matrix we dug it out of – dug directly out of our site in Wyoming. It’s a piece of human history and ancient natural history as well.
