Missourian Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Fossils are nice. Minerals are nice. Having both is even better....

A piece of limestone with crystals of calcite, dolomite, and chalcopyrite: On the other side, an Ameura trilobite: Westerville Limestone, Pennsylvanian Jackson County, Missouri Excellent!!! Bravo, Missourian ''Fossils and minerals ... combination'' is my weakness... And I have admired some wonderful samples displayed here in the Forum to date. Here is my best one. A porites coral chunk bearing several mineral formations with more important a 13 x 10 x 7 cm geode full of dog tooth shaped big calcite crystals. Edited August 29, 2012 by astron Astrinos P.
