Make Armored Mud Balls a State "Sedimentary Structure"

Lithified Armored Mud Balls are rare and research indicates they can only be easily seen in Franklin County, Massachusetts.  This petition supports officially recognizing their significance by becoming the official State Sedimentary Structure. These interesting and unique features from Mesozoic time, will therefore become celebrated and appreciated along with over 50 other Massachusetts State Symbols representing the history, culture, and geology of Massachusetts. 5 minute video:https://youtu.be/P38Qa0mYpLk
