Fossilized Shells


Double click the photo for a larger view to easily see the fossilized shells in the stone. The stone was brought from Wilcox County for use in a local garden. The Black Belt area of Alabama once was covered by shallow water, and fossils of marine life are fairly easy to find.

Fossil hunting is great fun.

Sure is, Kate. We've found mussel shells and other fishy things while tilling vegetable gardens in this region.

I love it when I find a little treasure like this. Interesting colors.
