Fossils have been used for various purposes throughout history, including eating, drinking, burying with the dead, and adorning bodies. In the seventeenth century, some believed that fossils could cure illness, protect against poisoning, ease the passage into the afterlife, ward off evil spirits, and even kill those who were annoying. However, the primary reason for their fascination was their artistic inspiration. Ken McNamara takes us on a journey through prehistory with these curious stones, exploring humankind's unending quest for the meaning of fossils.
