This is a full Large Flat Rate Box combination lot. It contains a Fossil Bowl Miocene Floral Fossil block from the Fossil Bowl fee dig site in Clarkia, Idaho. Plus up to 12 pounds of our Garnet Mine Run.
Each Floral Fossil block may contain pieces, and whole or nearly whole plant leaf fossils. These blocks may contain a rare insect or fish. Please note that the lot you receive will be selected at random from our on site stock taken from between two volcanic ash layers.
Each Garnet mine run lot may contain pieces and whole nodule to nearly whole nodule or crystals. These have been 1" size screened only. These lots contain a mixture of garnets and host rock materials as they come right out of our mine.
These lots are great for a little fun finding for adults, school kids, hobbyists, and those into learning more about fossil plant life and garnets.
The best way to separate the floral fossil layers is with a thin butter knife. Afterwards, wrap in damp newspaper and a loose plastic bag and allow to slowly dry over a period of several weeks to avoid cracking. Please see web links included or our fb page for more information and identifications.
Pictures are taken mostly dry. All photos are examples of the material the boxed lots typically contain. The cleaned garnet photos were taken wet. Videos are available on the Fossil Bowl Flora, Fossil Dig fb page, and Huckleberry Garnet fb page.
We are proud to bring you this material directly from our sites located on the shores of the ancient Miocene lake in Clarkia, Idaho. Your floral fossil block and mine run lots are mined with love at the source and hand bagged with care here in our lapidary shop.
