The item pictured is the one you will receive. This is a genuine fossil. Paleocene Age 60 million years ago Zizyphoides Flabellum Fossil Plant Leaf. At the onset of the Paleocene Epoch, Earth was recovering from the end-Cretaceous asteroid impact. The climate was subtropical almost to the polar circles, ocean temperatures were high, and polar ice caps were absent. The Paleocene Epoch brackets two major events in Earth’s history. It started with the mass extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous, known as the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary. This was a time marked by the demise of non-avian dinosaurs, giant marine reptiles and much other fauna and flora. The die-off of the dinosaurs left unfilled ecological niches worldwide. It ended with the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum. This was a geologically brief interval characterized by extreme changes in climate and carbon cycling. Terrestrial Paleocene strata immediately overlying the boundary is in places marked by a “fern spike”: a bed especially rich in fern fossils. Ferns are often the first species to colonize areas damaged by forest fires; thus the fern spike may indicate post-Chicxulub crater devastation. In general, the Paleocene is marked by the development of modern plant species. Cacti and palm trees appeared. Paleocene and later plant fossils are generally attributed to modern genera or to closely related taxa. The warm temperatures worldwide gave rise to thick tropical, sub-tropical and deciduous forest cover around the globe (the first recognizably modern rain forests) with ice-free polar regions covered with coniferous and deciduous trees. With no large grazing dinosaurs to thin them, Paleocene forests were probably denser than those of the Cretaceous. Flowering plants (angiosperms), first seen in the Cretaceous, continued to develop and proliferate, and along with them coevolved the insects that fed on these plants and pollinated them.
MDA-18-01: Dendritic Montana Agate, Manganese dendrites with light iron oxide staining. Old Terrace Flaxville gravel Glendive Montana. 204 grm, 7.2 oz Montana Agate is the term given to the stunning chalcedony that was found in the alluvial gavels of the Yellowstone River. It formed during the Pleistocene period from (2,588,000 until 11,700 years BP). The Montana Agate was spread over in a vast area surrounding millions of square miles.The exquisiteness of this is that they cannot be mined by small number of enterprises. In fact, it will still be available with small amount, particularly for the public and stone collectors for several years to come. Montana agate could perhaps be known as the Yellowstone Agate. Its origin was centralized along the Yellowstone Park area. The definite, incredible volcanic activity generated some certain conditions, which was considered essential for the structure of agate, several years ago. Although its genius was centralized in the Yellowstone Park region of Montana and Wyoming, this volcanic activity vary from the eastern Rocky Mountain in front of the south-central Wyoming. Along the western border of the Black Hills, and northern and eastern Montana, there are some volcanoes that were set forth along mountains of lava. Though lava that have devastated thousands of acres with powerful redwoods, and sequoias thousands miles around, these Agates in general approach have different forms, and in fact, they were generated with at least five various ways. The main conditions are quite essential for the structure of these agates. In fact, the existence of silica from devitrified volcanic ash as well as, the water from rainfall came out from ground sources. Others like iron, manganese, and other mineral oxides produce these bands, and inclusions were also existed out. After several years, layers of forests were grown up. Then, when it was destroyed by an ash and lava, the mineral and rains came out and poured by the cavities and pockets run off by the fizzy lava and dying trees. These factors were considered for the formation of the Montana Agate. This Agate is naturally characterized as having a red iron oxide and black manganese oxide. The power microscopic displays an amount of tracings for canals, which can be admitted when the water contains one or more of these metals with solution. In fact, the water was dried out, and then the canals were close firmly that’s why even the naked eye could not even see them. In addition to, the fern-like effects of several shrubs, trees, and mountains came out from the detail that these small canals twig out, and generated tiny canals from a common centre. This form of agate varies throughout three different states, while the small region in Montana was considered to enclose the best Agate in the whole world.

I was tired of looking over my shoulder and tired watching what I said. I was tired of running and hiding. It sounded dramatic---lure a sitting United States president to a small African country. Little did Firsen and I know, that would be just the start of it. Again, I hesitate to write down any of what Firsen and I did. That was, after all, how Goliath found us in the first place-my writings. But the rule of law has broken down and, if anyone is looking for criminals, they are looking for bigger ones than Firsen and me. I guess you need to check with General David Goliath, the richest and the strongest man on Earth. This was really his caper. We were just along for the ride.
