Description
This approx. 3-inch fossiliferous limestone specimen from Eisco provides an excellent hands-on example of a sedimentary rock formed in ancient marine environments. Visible fossil fragments embedded within the rock clearly illustrate how deceased marine organisms became compacted and preserved through geological processes.
Its convenient hand-sample size is ideal for student examination, classroom identification labs, and activities aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Perfect for studying sedimentary rock types, fossilization, and Earth's past marine environments, this specimen enriches any geology or Earth science curriculum.
