Turritella Agate Stone - a photo on Flickriver

            Known for its snail fossils entombed within the agate, the stone is brown, translucent to semi-transparent, and found in the Green River formation in Wyoming. It is the most popular stone from that formation. The white snail fossils sharply contrast the dark brown background. This is where the person who discovered the stone made the mistake in the naming of the stone.   

Turritella Agate rough is scarce - if it’s a stone that you like to keep available, buy it in quantity now.

2. The snails preserved in the stone are actually *not* Turritella. They’re of the Elmia tenera species. The stone was named before detailed inquiry, and the name stuck.

A friend of mine, having met through "flickr" boxed me up some rough rock Turritella and told me to give it a go!!  It has turned out to be quite a party favor!!  Love it! Thank you Jeffery!!
