Arizona Miocene Stromatolite


DPS Ammonite

Recommended Posts

A friend cut a polished a silicified lacustrine Miocene stromatolite from central Arizona that I found. Thanks Stan C. It is about 8 inches in maximum length. Two faces were cut that show the upward convex growth.

 

I am currently looking for a researcher to help write a paper about these and the other plant fossils that occur in the area.

 

A piece that was cut from the same colony as this piece is being donated to the Pinal Geology Museum in Coolidge, AZ.

Another Arizona museum wants one. I am seeing if other local institutes want one.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
