A Christmas Rock: Fossiliferous Coal

Posted by Evelyn Mervine

Merry Christmas & Happy Newtonmas, Everyone!

To celebrate, here are some beautiful pictures of coal taken from the interwebs. I’ll take coal rocks like these in my stocking any Christmas!

Even more ferns in coal. Image taken from here.
And even more fossil plants in coal! Image taken from here.
Yet more pretty coal for a stocking stuffer! You can buy fossils like these here.
