Flat-faced, sedimentary-layered, grey and tan — the geological strata of Precambrian Earth visible in its face. Older than complex life. Older than oxygen in the atmosphere.

Fossilized dinosaur dung — dark brown, rounded, organic in form — one of the most remarkable and rare fossil types in existence. This is direct physical evidence of a living dinosaur.

A tree that was alive — growing, photosynthesizing, standing — and was slowly replaced by mineral over geological time until it became stone. The wood grain is still visible.
