Rainbow Stromatolite (RS1)
Notes specific to this specimen: This is one of the original discovery pieces, collected by us in August 2025. It is characteristic of all the variety of colors found in this site. We’ve never seen such a variety of colors of stromatolite from a single site. It reminded us of all the colors of Arizona petrified wood – known as “Rainbow Wood” – and this became the source for our naming this new discovery “Rainbow Stromatolite”.

Crystalized Welks (W4)
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!

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!

Crystalized Welks (W2)
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! This is a single welk with a natural opening on its dorsal (top) allowing you to see the crystal lining of the shell and the gray sparite “floor” that was the sediment which partially filled the shell after the animal had died. Very unusual.
