Fossils formed when minerals in water replaced materials in bones and tissue, creating a replica in stone of the original organism. Fascinating orthoceras lived in prehistoric oceans using long cone-shaped shells designed with jet propulsion to zip around like modern day squid. Melvin Sandoval's explorative Bear has been sculpted from a fascinating orthoceras where bits and pieces still exist in the fossiliferous marble. An abalone point offering bundle is like an iridescent rainbow of joy. About 2 3/8" long, 5/8" wide and 1 3/4" tall.
