Special Note:
Some collectors and museums prepare their fossils with shellac and other items for enhancement and restoration. We DO NOT shellac or enhance our fossils in any way. We prefer to sell them in the most natural state that they were found in minus the dirt! We DO clean our specimens with white vinegar and water before sending them to you. This DOES NOT harm the fossil in any way and it removes as much of the dirt, mineralization, and grime as possible giving you a clean and prepped specimen! Occasionally we WILL NOT prep the fossil in order to leave some of the mineralization and pyritization on the fossil for detail. You always have the option of completing preparation the way you choose. If we obtain a fossil that has been prepared with shellac or another substance, we will list as such.
AUTHENTIC MAZON CREEK FOSSILS
. Unless otherwise stated, all of our specimens were found and collected in the actual Mazon Creek Area or the Mazon Creek itself. Unlike other areas that produce simular type fossils, Mazon Creek is located in Northern Illinois. Mazon Creek fossils are found in the Francis Creek Shale Member of the Desmoinesian Series, middle of the Pennsylvanian System of North America: the Westphalian D of Europe. At the time of the shale's deposition about 290 million years ago, Mazon Creek was near the Equator, situated along the delta front of a tremendous river system. The strip minning for coal by the Peabody and Chicago Coal companies has left many shaft mines and strip mines (Pits) resulting in numerous places to hunt for and find AUTHENTIC MAZON CREEK Fossils.
