Step back in time to the ancient seas of Illinois.
This genuine brachiopod fossil from Cave-in-Rock, Illinois is over 340 million years old, dating to the Mississippian Period. Once part of a thriving marine reef, this shell fossil shows beautiful natural texture and curvature — a classic example of a Spirifer-type brachiopod, the “winged shell” of the Paleozoic era.
