North Carolina Coquina (Fossil Shells) Specimen

Yellowish-Orange and Grayish-Orange with Small Shells

 Each specimen is at least 1"

Coquina is a poorly indurated (cemented) to moderately indurated rock composed of a mixture of quartz sand and mollusk shells.  The cementation is by calcium carbonate (limestone), which is sufficiently present to “fizz” when a vinegar test is applied.  The mollusk shells are both whole and fragmented and their primary coloration is yellowish-orange to grayish orange.  

 Coquina is rare in North Carolina, which serves as the northern boundary of the known American deposits. North Carolina coquina crops out in a few isolate areas, although there are quarries in the “down east” coastal section that have exposed underground deposits.  The primary fossils found in North Carolina coquina are at least 8 species of clams, 2 species of snails and an oyster species.

It is not the actual specimen, but from the same stock your order will be from.
