#3 Mississippian Brachiopods ~ Shells Fossils in Matrix Colchester, IL 1972I collected this sample in 1972.The Mississippian is a subperiod in the geologic timescale or a subsystem of the geologic record. It is the earlier of two subperiods of the Carboniferous period lasting from roughly 358.9 to 323.2 million years ago.
I was a Geology Student at WIU in Macomb, Illinois.I broke my sample down from a larger size ( about 10 pounds) to ones that would not weigh as much or cost you as much to ship but still have a great umber of individualBrachiopodsto see.This sample weighs a little over 6 oz.This sample #3 is the opposite side of Sample #2 I have already listed.If you want the top and the bottom buy them both.The combined weight would be over 16 oz so it would go Priority mail but that would be cheaper for you too.I will ship it in a New White corrugated cardboard box.The shipping weight is 10 oz. shipped.The cost is about 5.40-6.25, depending on your location.The eats and west coast cost a little more.The box is FREE it ships in.I use new boxes which I gladly pay for to get the sample to you safer and hopefully in one piece.The matrix is not as soft as a regular shale but closer to the hardness of slate.The sample will be padded well and that weight is included in the shipping total.
