An animal doesn't have to be alive to be cool to hang with! Here is my collection of fossils that I have personally found along Shoal Creek off Lamar Street. I think the snail-like ones are called ammonites. The others look like Oysters. The reason there are so many ammonite fossils is this: after the animal died it fell to the sea bottom and the non-shell part of it decomposed. That decomposition somehow caused a mineral buildup that was responsible for petrification. At least thats what it says in another part of the internet, so I hope that part of the internet was right or we're all screwed!
ADDED BONUS! If you think fossils are boring I've strategically placed a few other things in this pic for your amusement. As always CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO ENLARGE.

I read an article that explained how you can make a luxurious facial mask by grinding up old fossils like these and mixing it with a bit of water, macadamia nut oil, grapeseed extract, and lemon zest. What do you think MJB?
Sweet undies, dude.
Glossing right over Jeany's proposal that I grind up my fossil collection, I'd like to congratulate Mikeanimal on his taste in undies.
On second thought. Jeany, could you link us to that recipe?

BEIJING - Villagers in central China dug up a ton of dinosaur bones and boiled them in soup or ground them into powder for traditional medicine, believing they were from flying dragons and had healing powers.
they look like poo
it looks like you have a collection of poo on your desk
Sissy, I am assuming that you've forwarded this observation about my fossils as part of your quest to get intelligent design equal time in the classroom.
god bless...
