thank you for making this video. I purchased some of these pretty fossilized spiral shells to incorporate into my hand made jewelry. Now I will be able to tell my customers the age and origin of the shell/stone! :)

@puppylovejewelry Your fossils snails may not be from the same age/ vacinity . They could be later Devonian or later ? Ask your supplier exactly where they came from and google that areas fossils to confirm it . Our Cincinnati snails are not known to be jewlery quality (although some could be) .Usualy the more exotic colored minerals from other localities are used .
