That oyster bed stuff is a new one for me. It has Deschutes type patterns to it. I think it would make killer cabs.

Actually, that Oysterbed is Wamsutter stromatolite, an agatized algae. Beautiful batch....Mel

Really purty stuff! I really like the oysters - haven't seen that before. It's got really interesting patterns, should make some killer cabs.

I agree with Mel. Looks like classic stromatolite.

Beautiful Stromatolite! I just love the wavy patterns in it! The turritella turned out great and the pigeon blood looks like it has a lot of depth to it! Great job!
