Earlier in the year, I was out looking for shark teeth in a Miocene greensand layer. I didn't find any shark teeth on the day, but found an area where someone had dug out a section of the cliff. I picked up as many pieces as I could and brought them home with me.
The greensand gets its green colour from the glauconite in it.
I had heard that baking greensand and then submerging it in boiling water breaks it down into a slurry that can be sifted. Taking over the kitchen for 2 days, I went about this and got some pretty good results!
