Description:
Let’s go way back in time to appreciate this fossil. Trapped within this satin finished copper pendant is a Haplistion sphaericum from the early Permian time period. That’s a sponge about 300 million years old!
I collected sponge fossils last fall while on a rock hunt around southeast Nebraska with a geologist. I carefully placed the sponge between two copper sheets so the sponge can be viewed from all sides. Is that the shape of Nebraska? The copper will age to a nice brown color over time. The pendant hangs from a thick braided leather cord with a copper hook and eye closure.
Pendant approx. 2.5" long x 1" wide x .5" thick
Neck cord adjustable from 20"-21".
