These are an extremely rare and unusual formation. Some fossils are preserved in mud-like pods. These pods encase the specimen and preserve it. In this particular case the pod itself was then encased in a very thin layer of iron pyrite or fool’s gold as it is more commonly called. This is why we call the cannonballs, in allusion to the metallic formation. For every cannonball found, only 10% have a good fossil inside. On occasion this interior fossil is pyritized as well. They are collected in certain cliff-sides, some 300 feet above the ground. The age of this fossil type is approximately 135 million to 195 million years old.

It’s a gift for my daughter

My daughter studied Geology in university. We also lived, for many years, in a mining town in northern Ontario, where stray rocks and minerals were just lying there waiting to be discovered. Found an amethyst in my school yard when I was 12. Lots of fools gold, aka iron pyrite, in the gravel in the school’s yard as well. We’ve been collecting rocks and minerals for many years. But the selection there was limited by geography. No geodes, no agates, the things we longed for. Sarah-Jane will be thrilled when she finally gets her gift. I’ll send another review then. Absolutely love your offered selections! Thanks.

Very nice sample. It’s a gift for my grandson, so I’ll get him to write a review once he’s received his gift. Grandma likes it though …

Beautiful blue!

I’m partial to blue glass, even have a sun catching collection of blue glass bottles.
The shade of blue in the Kyanite caught my eye and that was that! I’m currently looking for a glass shelving unit to display my trilobites, minerals, geodes & agate. Of course it will have room for more …My other recent purchases are future gift foe family and friends. Great to give one of a kind gifts!
