I’ve been fascinated by rocks and stones for years. I’ve moved and set my collection of cobblestones several times, and would love to order a couple pallets of stone for dry walls. Hmmm…
Meanwhile, I saw this fossil-filled rock last Friday outside the new entrance to the Virginia State Capitol building in Richmond, Virginia. According to a Texas stone source, this stone typically comes from the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era, 70 million years ago - a time when the sea covered parts of the State of Texas. The texture and ancient shell imprints of the limestone capture my imagination – what was happening at the time these creatures lived?
