New Mexico Turritella Agate Identification

Turritella Agate is a realistic New Mexico fossil profile built around chalcedony packed with gastropod shell impressions from lake deposits. In this state, success usually comes from learning badlands mudstones, petrified wood flats, and playa margins, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
