1dave I spent about 20 minutes spot reading the book last night. I am familiar with bits and pieces of the info on Thundereggs and of the story of the Geode Kid having spent 4 or 5 weeks in Deming over the years collecting. Those trips always included a trip to the Deming Museum to see Paul's collection there. The museum remains a "must stop and visit" location on any future trips to the Deming area, the collection of Thundereggs is that good. My plans are to print out a copy to fit my style of reading, printed word is much better than from a screen. I will probably print in two separate pieces; The Thunderegg section and The Geode Kid section. I am hardly the person to proof read anything, however would you like me to note any any punctuation errors I spot? Do like what I see so far. Henry

Errors from human me?  What are the chances?  I wish I could go back and photo his whole collection for a new book! |

Of course that still doesn't keep me from being in trouble when I wake up!! If you tried to take a picture of his whole collection the camera would probably shut down after a while as it's sensory overload setting was exceeded!! |

Perhaps a state by state, location by location, photos and explanations on why - minerals, pressure,depth, Paul understood most of them. This from Germany: thundereggs.jimdofree.com/germany/  |

I thought I wanted to have some hard copies printed to give to my children.  Perhaps if I made the images all black and white?

Sharon has been sick the last few months. Yesterday she felt well enough to look at it and said "you don't have the rights to use these Google earth images, this and that have to go . . .' so I'm re-doing it. In the meantime I started my third book that will now become my second book (confusing, I know) about what ended Jurassic time. My covers (Sharon will redo them):   |

Also downloaded! Thundereggs and geodes are quite fascinating and I had no idea they had so many varieties (see, page one and I've already learned something!!) Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
