Kimber Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) From my first ever pile of dirt that was full of fossils and more. This was my best find ever. I have 5 pieces that are bigger than a bowling ball. Compact matrix pieces with fossil oysters, shells and calcite. 1st photo. I think it looks like a rabbit, lol bigger than a bowling ball. 2nd cluster of Oyster shells and matrix with my small pirate coral. 3rd Pic. Of the coral piece I call my pirate. What do you think? He looks like a pirate. 4th . Then some of the 100 fossil Oyster shells I found. 3 to 6 inch average. And a few big matrix pieces. Edited June 25 by Kimber Forgot a few pictures 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Expose your specimens to UV light. The calcite crystals and calcite replaced mollusks should fluoresce a nice green. 1 1 "A problem solved is a problem caused"--Karl Pilkington "I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit." -- Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
