Fossils and Geodes

Fossils and geodes are super old, therefore they are guaranteed to make you look younger

Tabasco geodes are the world’s smallest known geode formation, measuring between 0.25 and 1 inch in size and originating from volcanic basalt flows in Zacatecas, Mexico

Discovery: Miners first found these tiny geodes in the 1970s within volcanic rock deposits.
New Finds: A fresh deposit was brought to the commercial market in 2018.
Hard Mining: Workers must carefully chisel the nodules out of thick basalt host rock

An ammonite is an extinct marine mollusk that belonged to the class Cephalopoda, making them ancient relatives of modern octopuses, squid, cuttlefish, and the nautilus. These creatures first appeared roughly 450 million years ago and became entirely extinct 66 million years ago during the same mass extinction event that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs
