Fossils and agates found in "Caleta Olivia" , Patagonia , Argentina

[patagonianstar]

Attached , you will find some pictures of a fossilized shell and a sea star (don´t know if this name is correct), stuck together as if they were having their last conversation .
We found this fossil in the South  in "Caleta Olivia "(Santa Cruz Province).
And some pictures of agates we found during this trip , although these are very broken , they are quite unusual , but they are not worth cutting and polishing.Others that we found during this trip ,are being cut and polished at this time.

Greetings!!

Hello Ricardo & Claudia,

"not worth cutting and polishing" ?  I realy would appreciate if I´d find some stuff nearly half the size you did.  :'(

Hola Patagonian Star,

I agree with Keggy. Really nice pieces, a fossilized star fish on a fossilized sea shell would be the shining stars of my collection.
Keep on posting

best regards
