Fossil Agate
Turritella fossil agate can be found in much
of the western area of the U.S. which was once an inland sea. The turritella
was an ancient sea snail with a cone shaped spiral shell. The tiny shells
have been replaced by agate and chalcedony. There are other similar fossil
agates from this inland sea with other species of marine snails.
