A classic location to find these fossils is
Redcar on the northeast coast of England. There used
to be a common folk belief that carrying one of
these fossils could prevent rheumatism. They are
also in abundance in the state of Kansas in
riverbeds and cliffs, and are easy to collect and
find.
They were apparently used in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries to cure pain in the joints.
Oakley made the interesting point that their
contorted appearance is suggestive of painful
joints, an example of sympathetic medicine.
Knell quoted a passage from a diary written on 10
April 1696 by a local man, Abraham de la Pryne,
which says that powdered Gryphaea was used to cure
'...a horse's sore back...'
These fossil give protection from Arteritis and all
bone related problems.
