Superb, unbroken slab filled with wonderful naturally occurring orthoceras fossils that was once part of the prehistoric ocean floor over 400 million years ago.

As these forms of prehistoric squid were covered in ocean sediments prior to fossilization, the majority of the creatures will be facing in the same relative position, having been lined up by currents on the sea floor prior to being buried.

The fossils are exposed and given a high polish to better view the creatures from their surrounding matrix. The slab features very high relief as well as dramatic texture and detail they had tentacles and ink sacs, much like present-day squid.

Except for belemnites, cephalopods had external shells with hollow internal chambers separated by walls called septa.

Celestine, along with the carbonate mineral strontianite, serves as a principal source of the element strontium, commonly utilized in fireworks and various metal alloys.

Celestine crystals from Madagascar are renowned for their intricate formations, including large, well-defined crystals, crystal clusters, and twinned crystals.

Highly coveted among collectors and enthusiasts, celestine is frequently incorporated into jewelry and decorative objects. Its blue hue renders it particularly desirable for use in jewelry, often serving as a substitute for blue topaz or blue sapphire.

Chrysoprase is highly valued for its aesthetic properties and is often used in jewelry, accessories, art, and ornamentation. It is also popular in lithotherapy, as it can aid in healing psychological and emotional wounds, promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and boost self-confidence.

An ancestor of the herring family, a very finely boned fish which is extremely difficult to prepare from the Lagerstätte varve layer of the Eocene limestones of the Green River formation 18-inch layer.

These predator fish came from the prehistoric fossil lakes. The lower Eocene deposits of Green River formation was thought to be a large freshwater lake.
