ago. Sea levels were much higher then and the Gulf of Mexico reached inland to Southern Utah
where many of the septarian nodules are found. They are also found in Madagascar where
conditions were similar.
Periodic volcanic eruptions killed the smaller sea life which sank to the sea bed
and started decomposing. The minerals in the shells and carcasses attracted sea floor
sediments which accumulated around the carcasses and formed nodules or mud balls. When
the ocean eventually receded, the mud balls dried out and began to shrink and crack into
the beautiful patterns that you see inside the septarian nodules.
Over the eons, calcite leeched down into the cracks and formed calcite crystals
which grew to fill the cracks. The interface between the calcite and the bentonite clay
transformed into aragonite which is the dark brown crystal layer. The bentonite mud was
eventually replaced with limestone which completed the transformation of the entire nodule to
