Product Description

This dark brown and gray specimen from the Uinta Mountains in Utah is made up of tons of little shells cemented together with calcium carbonate. Coquina is formed near ocean shorelines in areas that have a large population of shelled animals, such as clams, oysters, orthoceras, ammonites, scaphites, crabs, lobsters, snails, and horn corals. You can think of coquina as “rock pizza” for geologists. It comes with a variety of toppings and the good thing is that you will rarely, if ever, find an anchovy.
