DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Unfortunately, the glass case they had these in was very reflective so bare with me. 2 Each dot is 50,000,000 years: Hadean............Archean..............................Proterozoic.......................................Phanerozoic...........

DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 There’s clam borings on this one which means this had to have been in the water for a decent amount of time then sank and was preserved which is very cool to see. If I had to choose one to take home, this would be it. It too, has growth rings preserved quite nicely. 2 Each dot is 50,000,000 years: Hadean............Archean..............................Proterozoic.......................................Phanerozoic...........

I found it pleasing as well. It looks more analogous to modern wood to me then the others.
