Fossil pearls and fitting oyster

[rocket]

Just to show: it is possible to find fossil pearls. This three come from the campanian of Hannover.

They are found in a layer together with a lot of Oysters, all Ostrea semiplana

So, when you find Oysters in a bed, look for small balls, might be a pearl

This ones are right for a paper we write, will be published end of the years.

If someone has pearls from upper cretaceous, let me know, perhaps we can add it

not necessary to be campanian age, but upper cretaceous or tertiary, please

There is a lady here in Texas who is also writing a paper on fossil pearls. She showed me two she found in North Texas. They are amazing.

Amazing. I never imagined that pearls can be preserved as a fossil on some occasions. Good information
