I Have Created A Museum Out Of Artifacts That I Find Around The World And You Have Free Tickets To Look At It

ADVERTISEMENT

I acknowledge that some of the artifacts here, belonged and still might belong to the Umoonan people of Coober Pedy. I am a beginner at finding fossils so they aren’t very many here. I hope you find this interesting and further my knowledge (and yours) about fossils. Enjoy!

This is a sea bed. It has many fossils here including the broken stems of crinoids and several branches of coral. I found this one myself in England

This is what is called a thunder egg. It is a type of geode. I bought this one

This is a flexicalymene trilobite. It lived about 450 million years ago and its shell has been fossilized into limestone. I bought this one

This is the head of a unique trilobite. It has eight eyes so I could not identify it. Please tell me in the comments if you know what type it is. I found this one

This is a shell. I found this one in England

This is a chroptolite (fossilized poo) that has been rolled into a ball by a dung beetle, so it is most likely from the dinosaur period or after. I found this one

This is an aboriginals spearhead. I found this one in Coober Pedy

This is an opalized shell. I found this one in Coober Pedy. It is made of dead opal, so it isn’t worth anything

This is another aboriginals spearhead

Another view of it

This is my prized artifact. It is a fire opal, a rare type of opal, that is worth 300 dollars. I found this one in Coober Pedy

A view of an opalized shell. The lines are the lines you would see on a shell

Another view of the opalized shell (it is also dead opal so worth nothing). I found this one in Coober Pedy

This is a shark tooth fossil. I bought this one

This is a fish tail. My pop found this in Queensland

This is gypsum. Nothing special, just looks cool

This is a rock. I have no idea what it is made out of. Please tell me in the comments if you know. Found in the living desert

An aboriginals knife

A negative impression of a sea shell. Found in Coober Pedy

I have no idea what this is but it looks like a small bird fossil

Gorgeous collection. But all I can think of is: you should really vacuum your carpet. :D
