SCIENTIFIC KAOLISM:

BACK TO CERAMIC WONDERS

RETURN TO INDEX

MUD + HEAT = PYROFACT

We hope to prove the existence of legendary animals, and inject new life into them before they're extinct.

It is well known that fossils are created in nature when minerals gradually replace the buried remains of a creature with a deposit of stone. This process often takes millions of years to complete. The kaolithic process is much faster. Kaolithic fossils are formed when the buried remains are entirely replaced by clay compounds which have been shaped through digital contact, compaction and impaction by unnatural forces. When the remains are exposed to high temperatures in a kiln, thermal metamorphosis occurs and the kaolithic fossilization is complete. The entire process can happen within a few days. By applying the scientific method to the visual and tactile examination of these thermally metamorphised mud pyrofacts, we have unearthed or created previously unknown animals from the Pre-credulous era of the Bone Age.
