Agatized Algae (AA2)
$420.00
A rare, complete nodule. This specimen is a round, deflated sphere with nice bubbly agate skin all over it. One side is concave, the other convex, indicating the orientation of the original colony in the sediments. Can you guess which way it was oriented? Answer – the convex side was up. As the sediments accumulated and the agal ball deteriorated, the top collapsed. The bottom, meanwhile, was supported by the sediments below allowing it to retain its original shape.
