• Sudbury Impactite (SUD4)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Beautiful, one-of-a-kind obelisk with even distribution of copper and nickel mineralizations. High gloss polish on all sides.

     

    Note: We have decided to stop making obelisks – it wastes too much of this precious material.  There is only ONE of this size left.  The photos are of the exact piece you will be sent.

  • Crystalized Clam (OK1)

    Notes specific to this specimen: This complete clam is packed full with honey calcite. There are some fantastic radial calcite crystals amidst a solid honey calcite matrix. The back is a partially recrystallized shell. This is a singularly unique find.

  • Trilobite (T5)

    Notes specific to this specimen:
    DEATH FLOW specimen- Here is a very rare and unusual piece showing a complete Elrathia triloibite caught in the midst of the “Death Flow” megaspecimen we uncovered in 2004. You can see the mayhem that accompanied the mudslide- with hundreds of trilibites and trilobite parts both large and small, all mashed together surrounding it. The fact this one is intact and complete indicates the force of the slide was probably dissipating by the time it reached this spot. But it was buried and succumbed nonetheless. Professionally prepared using air-abrade. We found other specimens similar to this but they are already in museums.

  • Crystalized Clam (OK3)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Great honey calcite crystals replacing the clam shell trapped in matrix. This piece has a sawn flat bottom so it stands up nicely on its own. Nice display specimen

  • Cerdito Prospect Rift Crystals (CP13)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Cool combination piece dominated by a cavity of nice light smokey quartz crystals encased in an amethyst vein. Note: One of the large crystals has a broken tip. But the rest is clean and gemmy. This piece has a cut-flat bottom so it stands up and displays very nicely. Take a look at the cut bottom and you’ll see the very graphic splitting of the matrix and the subsequent infilling with deeper smokey quartz.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D3)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Commonly called the “hoof” of a hadrosaur – in this case Edmontosaurus – this is the end bone of a pes digit (toe). In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.

  • Agatized Algae (AA2)

    Notes specific to this specimen: 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.

  • Sudbury Impactite (SUD12)

  • Trilobite (T1)

    Notes specific to this specimen:
    DEATH FLOW specimen – Super rare and unusual! – Here are two complete Elrathia triloibites that escaped the full force of the “Death Flow” megaspecimen that we uncovered in 2004. You can see the very edge of the death line at the top – with hundreds of trilibite fragments both large and small all mashed together. Though they escaped the full force, they were caught in the front part of the mudslide and succumbed nonetheless. Professionally prepared using air-abrade. We found other specimens similar to this but they are already in museums.

  • Cerdito Prospect Rift Crystals (CP14)

Take a look at the cut bottom and you’ll see the very graphic splitting of the matrix and the subsequent infilling with white quartz and citrine.
