Hello everyone I joined yesterday, I'm cabbing up some lakers now. Here is a gem coprolite cab I finished a couple days ago. I have access to a bunch of 'old stock' should I keep buying it? I kinda have an unreasonable amount of rocks already. Here is one with a few more pixels. i.imgur.com/kXGFWJL.jpg

Most folks here will agree that you can never have too many rocks. Do not spend your kids lunch money on rocks.

Extremely nice example of poop. Interesting diet that one had. LOL! Always buy old stock when you can.

I keep telling my wife do not let me buy more rock. What do I do? Buy more rock. Vic

That's the coolest Coprolite I've ever seen! I don't think there's going to be a shortage of Coprolite. I'd only buy it when it's high quality. There's a lot of shit out there! Lynn

I've been scooping up all of the plume and trent agate slabs for sure. I usually spend about a hundred bucks a visit, which nets me about a 5-gallon bucket of various stuff.

My nephew's great grandpa was in the rock vendor circuit, but like many of us he hoarded the nice stuff he found. I've sunk about $1,200 in it already, another 3k would buy the rest.
