$35.00 FO608b  Here is something new in the Rock Shed's educational department.  This is a Stone Fish Kit.  This kit has a large piece of Limestone shale which holds a real fossil Fish that is entombed in the shale.  A tool is provided to scratch the Fish out of the matrix.  The kit comes with direction that explain how to remove the fossil Fish from the Shale and tips to assist you in the removal.  The directions also include a brief history and preparation of the fossils plus a chart to determine which type of Fish you have excavated.  Item will be similar to item in photo.

This would make a super educational tool or great gift.  Please note that the fish removal can take up to 35 hours to just expose the fish and will take more time to complete remove the fish from the Limestone.  This is not an activity that can be complete in one evening.

FO606b   This is a fossilized Shark Tooth.  The specie name is Otodus Obliquus and from the Eocene period.
