Got some pics snapped of my Desert Gardens pick ups from this weekend. They're mostly slabs so I figured I'd post 'em here an assortment tasty sagenite dino chunks and slabs couple condors Morgan Hill chunka root and fossil bug nice plume/moss sweet Regency and OJ my bargain slabs, Cathedral for a buck a piece and a big 3 lb OJ slab for $15. Not 'A' grade but still pretty neat That's it. Exhausted my rock allowance for now so it's time to get back to work lol. Thanks for looking!

Great slabs Beef. It's all fantastic. Great buy on the OJ slab too.
There's a guy at the local shows here with a chunk of rock for 20 dollars in his milk crates. It probably weighs 5 lbs and is listed as Ocean Jasper. I don't see any of the orby pattern in it, so am skeptical if it really is OJ. I figured for that price, someone more knowledgeable would have snapped it up. If he's still got it at the next show I see him ast, I may offer less and if he'll sell it, see what I really got.

you guys are so lucky out there. Nearly impossible to find anything that nice out here with out selling off a kid or two. That sagenite is really cool. The bug looks like the trilobites we collect around here, probably better stone though.

Great scores! That dino bone with the fortification is terrific. What's the red tubey and cream piece in the first picture?

Hey thanks folks!
Ronda the red tubey piece (bottom right, right?) in the first pic is a teepee canyon slice. Nate good luck with that 'maybe OJ' stuff, post pics if you run into him again! Ralph hope you're still out there as I'm headed down in the morning. I Read what you wrote about the storm damage, dang it sounds pretty bad!

Yup, that was the one. I see Teepee Canyon, now. The white center threw me off.
