PIPI SHELL FOSSIL
LIGHTNING RIDGE AUSTRALIA
The sandstone at Lightning Ridge once formed the floor of an ancient shallow inland sea where plants, aquatic life and occasionally the bones and teeth of animals were preserved. As they tunnel through these sediments searching for precious opal, miners sometimes find these fossils.
Pipi Shells in Lightning Ridge:
Fossilized Sea Shells:
Pipi shells are fossils of sea shells that were once part of an ancient inland sea.
Opalized Pipi:
Lightning Ridge is known for its black opal. Sometimes, pipi shells are found opalized, meaning the original shell structure has been replaced by opal.
Discovery:
Miners looking for opal in Lightning Ridge may occasionally discover pipi shells as part of the sediment layers.
