Split open a plain gray rock at this Washington park and a leaf that last saw sunlight 50 million years ago falls into your hand. The best part? Whatever you chisel out of the shale, you carry home.

This week we have an unidentified leaf! This is a cool example of how even though the fossil can seem insignificant at first, with a second set of eyes it can turn out to be extra special!

Mark your calendars! Stonerose's own Director has his debut high-fantasy novel releasing on September 22nd! To celebrate we'll be hosting a book signing with him.

Here's the blurb from the back of the book:
"In a world cursed to forget its dead, Quinn is cursed to remember.”

A loved one passes and, instantly, all memory of them leaves your mind. That has been the reality of the world ever since the Heart of Acrilon was destroyed millennia ago.

Until Quinn Vesper was born.

The sole person able to remember the dead and see spirits, Quinn navigates a haunted, broken world, having made it their goal to rebuild the Heart to free everyone from its curse. Of course, things are never that simple, as they and their party contend with ferocious shardbeasts born from the very shards they're gathering as well as powerful factions who want the Heart for their own reasons."
