Many corals have a hard exoskeleton made of calcium carbonate. It is this exoskeleton that becomes fossilized. Fossil coral forms when calcium carbonate is slowly replaced by silica. The silica ranges from light amorphous opaline to dense forms of chalcedony. Depending on the exact mineral concentration.
The Dog Tag design has long been associated with identification. It is derived from the ancient Egyptian cartouche, an ornate name plate formerly only worn by Pharaohs. The oval surrounding the name was intended to offer protection in life and beyond death. The dog tag design has become a symbol representing personal identity, good luck, and protection.
