#2 is a quartzite nodule. I find many with this particular weathering pattern in Wyoming. I'd cut #3, 4.

Some ridges in Utah are called reefs because the steep cliffs block travel across land, like a coral reef impedes ships. Bless you Dave! I've always wondered why they were called reefs and now I know. They really do block passage don't they? I've hiked across some and it's tough going even on foot.

I will pack a MFRB full of high grade coprolite rough which usually amounts to at least 20 pounds. I'll also custom select the coprolite for either cutting rough or specimen purposes according to the wishes of the auction winner. I'll cover domestic shipping expenses and also cherry pick the material for best odds of something really special inside. Let's close this auction at midnight mountain standard time Saturday Dec. 10th. Payment can be made directly to Stonemon's fund and I'll send the box right after that. If you need to get an idea of what you would be bidding for you can check out forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/92117/coprolite?page=1Thank you for considering a good cause. Randy Thank you, Randy! Is there an opening bid? Let's start low at $40 so everyone feels tempted.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to consider bidding on a medium flat rate box full of coprolite rough that I'm putting up for auction to help Stonemon with some medical expenses. All proceeds will go to him and I'll cover shipping expenses. I'm going to pick out over 20 pounds of the highest quality coprolite rough that should promise some excellent results, but of course you never know till you cut them open. Go to the link for details and thank you. Randy forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/101025/benefit-auction-stonemon-coprolite

Interesting. Reminds me of when I used to run a lumber sawmill with a 52" blade. The beast had a 3/8" kerf and a giant German diesel engine to drive it. I quickly learned why band saw style mills rendered my mill obsolete, because any slight shifting or twisting would bind the blade and warp it from heat building up.
Another issue is it's really hard to load the carriage with such heavy stock without knocking it out of alignment or damaging it.
My gut tells me this new saw might be too much of a good thing and something like a band saw, or wire saw might be more practical.

For certain it came from the famous grape agate deposit between Hanksville and I -70.
