Abstract

A composition with the required chipping characteristics can be formed into a solid block surrounding objects to be exposed by chipping away the material of the block to define a paleontology or similar toy. The composition contains rounded granite particles of two different mesh sizes, a wax filler material in the interstices between the particles and a separate binder to form the structure into a solid block.
