| Glacial Concretions The Quaternary Period is the geologic time period that roughly covers the time span of recent glaciations, including the last glacial retreat. An occasional alternative usage places the start of the Quaternary at the onset of North Pole glaciations approximately 3 million years ago and includes portions of the upper Pliocene. The 1.8–1.6 million years of the Quaternary represents the time during which recognizable humans existed. Formation of The Great Lakes and other major lakes of Canada, and Hudson's Bay, are the results of the last glacial cycle, and are temporary. Following every other ice age within the Quaternary, there was a different pattern of lakes and bays. During this time, thick glaciers advanced and retreated over much of North America and Europe, parts of South America and Asia, and all of Antarctica. The Great Lakes formed and giant mammals flourished in parts of North America and Eurasia not covered in ice. These mammals became extinct when the Ice Age ended about 10,000 years ago. The Quaternary includes 3 geologic subdivisions; the Pleistocene, the Holocene Epoch and the Anthropocene Epoch. (The geologic time period from roughly 1.8 million years ago to the present) Some Clay Concretions emerge from the ground but the majority of these stones are collected by digging the clay soil delicately in order to avoid any breaking or distortion and preserve their authenticity. Stones are different colors based upon their discovery location. Once found, the stones are cleaned and dried. A light coat of sealant is then applied to bring a sheen and prevent scratching. This coating also prevents the natural oils in your fingers from discoloring the specimen. These can easily be returned to their uncoated natural state by soaking the specimen in 1 cup of warm water with 2 tablespoons of vinegar for 15 minutes. Brush the stone gently with a toothbrush, rinse well several times and dry. You now have the natural specimen. |
