Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where
all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining the
original structure of the wood. These minerals are most often Silicates
such as Quartz. Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water
or mud during the petrification process gives Petrified Wood a variety of color
ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron.
Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its detail
all the way down to the microscopic level. Structures such as tree rings
and the various tissues are often observed features. Although Petrified
Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities and at times
can be difficult to obtain by the average collector.
Ammonites are an extinct group of marine animals of the subclass Ammonoida in the class Cephalopoda, phylum Mollusca. They are excellent index fossils which are fossils that are used to define and identify geologic periods. Ammonites' closest living relative is probably not the modern Nautilus (which they outwardly resemble) but rather the subclass Coleodiea, which are octopus, squid and cuttlefish.

Brazilian Agate Bookends
Agates mostly occur as nodules
in volcanic rocks or waters containing silica in solution possibly derived from
the decomposition of silicates in the lava. The siliceous matter is deposited
in regular layers resulting in the banded or striped formation.
Total weight is 8 lb. 13 oz.

Sandstone Bookends
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand size mineral or rock grains. Most Sandstone is composed of Quartz and/or Feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the earth's crust. It can be almost any color. The Sandstone beds often form highly visible cliffs and are strongly identified with certain regions of the world.
This set weighs 8 lbs. 10 oz.

Septarian Bookends
Septarians are commonly composed of a carbonate mineral such as Calcite, a microcrystalline form of Silica as in Flint or Jasper, or an Iron Oxide such as Hematite. These specimens are also known as a concretion which is a type of sedimentary rock.
Septarians were formed millions of years ago by sediment forming around a fossil to create a mud ball transforming the fossil into Calcite and Aragonite.
