Cerdito Prospect Rift Crystals (CP10)
Notes specific to this specimen: Both smokey quartz and amethyst crowded on the front face. Beautiful fracture infills showing on both sides. Also has a nice amethyst-lined hollow on the back with amethyst veins all over. This piece has a 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. Fantastic piece!

Agatized Coral (AC2)
Notes specific to this specimen: This is an exceptional and exquisite carnelian agate pair with rare fortified agatized cavities and preserved microscopic internal structures. This cut and polished pair is mounted on a pleasing piece of Suwanee Limestone – which is the matrix material these specimens originated from. No other preparator mounts these specimens on their native matrix. Honestly, most people don’t even know how they formed, much less know the association with Suwanee Limestone! You can see how translucent the hollows are – the carnelian agate just glows! Zoom in and look at the lighter colored sections below the hollow and you’ll see that it’s actually lace agate. We’ve never seen this before This is a one-of-a-kind beautiful pair!

Fossil Sand Dollar and Clam (KH6)
These well-preserved clams and sand dollars lived in a shallow sea that covered the San Joaquin Valley for millions of years. During storms the animals became buried in sediments which preserved the shells. Under heat and pressure, the shells altered into calcite, yet preserved their fine detail. Later, due to movement of the nearby San Andreas fault, the whole area was uplifted, becoming the Kettleman Hills. The Hills became famous for its oil in the 1920s. But the oil has since played out and the land is returning to its former native environment. We’ve polished the primary shells to show their beauty and detail. Iron and petroleum color the shells. We have spent years mapping the Hills and are the only people who know where to find these unique fossils.
Notes specific to this specimen: Exquisite large brown polished sand dollar with two great polished clams and some unpolished clams beside them. This is a matrix piece that has a flat bottom so it stands up nicely.

Volcanic Bomb (EB12)
Notes specific to this specimen: Large, rare, combination fusiform bomb. This is the result of three individual magma projectiles running into each other in flight. In this case the merge of these three individuals was early in the ejection event but after the individual projectiles had started acquiring their own individual character. The combination of these three bombs resulted in one very large cigar-shaped bomb which acquired it’s own form which dominated the final shape before falling back to Earth.

Volcanic Bomb (EB14)
Notes specific to this specimen: Rare double bomb. These unique specimens form when two magma projectiles run into each other in flight before they completely harden. In this case the merge was early in the ejection event, before the two projectiles had started to acquire their own individual character. Instead the combination of the two was almost obliterated by the overall form taking shape before they fell back to Earth.

UNIT: Llewellyn Formation
SITE: Schuylkill County, PennsylvaniaSize: 11″ x 11″ x 1″
Notes specific to this specimen: Large, two sided specimen with multiple layers evident. Front and back are equally compelling with a dense accumulation of ferns. Nice scattering of ferns on both sides, with both positive and negatives on each. Great specimen from this classic site.

Dinosaur Bones (D1)
Notes specific to this specimen: This is a very well preserved neural arch and process of a cervical vertebrae, probably about midway down the neck of a hadrosaur (bipedal) dinosaur. The centrum is not present. The fine detail on the bone surface is exquisite and remarkably well preserved. This exceptional piece has no reconstruction.

Crystalized Clam (OK4)
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.
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.
