Unique Late 1800's Antique 10k Fossil Pendant On Gol...

the person who originally wrote this description just called it a fossil (rightfully so, it's 10k. it's 100 dollars. no hate for RLM here.)

:)

@vorpalkind

Fri, Feb 1, 2019 2:35 AM

so someone just had to email us w some 'do you have any idea what kind of fossil it is? and also how do you know it's from the 1800s?' well,

i didn't begin my day knowing but i sure responded to that email as though i'd been a paleontologist my wholeass life

i don't get it man. do you email every antiques seller asking how they know. YOU don't know! why do you care if you don't know how to tell it's from the 1800s! you won't even know if the explanation makes any sense!

lovecraft was a daft racist who only ate beans but he did have one point and its that some fossils can be a little offputting. a little overambitious.
