An unusual piece, as it is a DOUBLE skull with one on each side, adhering together at a solid junction and showing clearly how these form in the cracks and spaces of a conglomerate lode around ball-shaped rocks. There is even a third mini-skull in the cluster. Overall this is thus very 3-dimensional and dramatic!
