- A Cigar Box of Fossils
In the photograph at left are fossils like the ones Mary Mae digs up in the book. The ones in the first two rows were actually found by my brother-in-law at Caesar Creek State Park and are from the Ordovician period, around 450 million years ago.
The three in the first row are bryozoans. In the second row, left to right, are a brachiopod, the tip of a cephalopod’s tentacle, another brachiopod, then a horned coral. The two on the top are a crinoid and a trilobite, which I made myself out of clay for the book trailer. If you click at the box on the right, you can watch the book trailer and see those two clay models in Mary Mae’s hand.
