With you finding it by Yorkton now in any case I'll have to change my name for it Estevan Saskatchewan Dendritic Mudstone now. Unless you get a better Id there. You should take a slab of your other stuff with the dendrites in the centers and see if its the same stuff. It is definantly the same stuff though. Either way I think we have the market for it cornered Brent, ;D It looks like this cabbed if anyone is interested. Might have to try selling some sometime hey Brent? Just a shame its so hard to find.
