Fossils

Fossilized Coral - Locations: Indonesia, United States

The oldest fossil corals are from the Ordovician period, over 450 million years ago. Fossils have been found of both solitary and large coral colonies. Sometimes entire coral heads are completely preserved, and they appear just as they did millions of years ago. 

Fossil coral assists in understanding past influences and brings in a more positive approach to one’s emotional outlook. It also creates a sense of stability, fluidity and balance.

Fossilized Shark Tooth - A shark tooth begins its fossilization process when it is buried in sediment after being lost from a shark’s mouth. Generally, it takes about 10,000 years for a tooth to become a true fossil. The color of the fossil is determined by the color of the sediment in which it is buried.

Fossil shark teeth are thought to connect one with ancestors and promote strong bone growth.
