Does this count as fossil-esque?

Some geodes (not this one though) actually are fossilized crinoid heads. They're found in southern Indiana.

The scientific way of writing "heh, looks like cookie monster lol"

I think the bottom pic must have had some special coockies considering the eyes.

I'll never be as happy as these two halves of geode

@Flocklesscrow @fossilesque and you’ve not even seen them yet with a cookie each.

This is how many years old? Not sure why it's being treated like news.

According to a combination of webpages, geodes can take anywhere from thousand to millions of years to form ... So you're right, this new isn't just old, it's geological.
