Finding a few crystallized marine fossils sitting in the dirt ⛏. The first is one of the crystallized sea snails I recently posted, followed by a small clam.

Hope everyone’s having a good weekend ✌. Here’s a video I took a while back of some golden druzy calcite rhombs (fluorescent and phosphorescent under longwave UV), from west of Austin Texas.

Well this is pretty cool, I found a small area on a recent crystal hunt with these crystallized fossil seashells. They’re marine gastropods (sea snails) from the Cretaceous period that have been almost entirely replaced by yellow calcite crystals! More pics and vids to come once I get a few more cleaned up.
