A bored Cretaceous oyster waiting patiently to be picked up on a Mississippi outcrop of the Prairie Bluff Formation (N 33.48371°, W 88.85309°). The fossils here are found on a dried mud so when you pick them up they give a satisfying sound as they detach from the ground. It is like opening a sealed package knowing you're the first to find it.
