A Ball Of Lives?

Recommended Posts

Attached are photos taken of a stone sphere (~ 50mm in diameter) I recently bought from a local store. The vendor told me that it was made of a mineral from Western Australia. In fact, the features in the sphere are quite mysterious. Is it a ball of a frozen scene of lives that were crowded and were busy in reproducing in a time in the past?

It looks like the cross section of a high-spired snail similar to Turritella.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

It looks like a cut and polished ball with a Turritella as the biggest piece and a bunch of other types and species of mollusks.

Edit: i was beaten to the draw
