A fossilized Mercedes, one
of the first to have ever
"oozed up" from the
primordial rock an estimated
2 million years ago, was
discovered last week behind
an art gallery in Philomath,
Oregon.
Scientists believe just the
right combination of rock and
metal under just the right
conditions formed the early
Mercedes.

| Poking fun at evolution aside... I love the excavated car fossil as a glass cast piece! The roughness of the finished work enhances its portrayal of an ancient, beat up, excavated old fossil. These car 'fossil' paperweights have a nice "glow" to them as the light catches the contrasting car glass color which then projects throughout the piece. -Lauren Wingert |
