Droolworthy indeed! I'm impressed by the dino bone as well. Beautiful example. If you haven't read a lot about Laguna Agate, those black included fractures are known as "black widows" and, though hated by collectors, are a Laguna indicator characteristic....Mel

If you get some extra time holler and we can go to the secret fortification agate spot in Challis. Only about an hour or an hour and ahalf drive from where you are now. Call me and I will meet you in Arco.

Thanks Ya'll! Mel...I had never heard that and I appreciate you commenting. I am still looking for the book by Brad Cross....but it's not available unless you have a pretty penny to spend. Amber...Sorry Girl! Tony...an hour and a half away from Idaho Falls or here in Utah?? I will be up in Idaho Falls this afternoon until Wednesday. Maybe we can bust our humps today and get a bunch of it done and finsih up early enough tomorrow that a rock ttrip could be had. THANKS! Steve

Steve: The Cross book is a must have for Mexican agate lovers. Lots of very useful information on identification, locations, structure etc. I use mine quite often when I come up against a Mexican material I can't identify or for which I can't find a location. Plus, of course, pretty pictures *S*......Mel

Steve, an hour or so from Idaho Falls. If you can make it call me and if I can get off that day I will head over to Arco and meet you there. We can ride together from Arco to the secret spot.

Very nice specimens! The dino bone is quite spectacular. That is as nice as it gets. I see a showcase oval in that slab.
