Howdy folks, Finished my pics, all except the chopstick agate which will have to be slabbed first as the nodules are plain on the outside. Here's the dino bone and a really special find I made in one slab tray. One cab wonders 25 cents to one dollar each. Was real bright when I took these. Much much prettier in person. Larger slabs, black dino and multi colored Red and green bone. Really like this one! Black , green and pink gem bone Finally, found this in one of the dino bone guys trays. He identified it as coprolite. Danged prettiest poop I've even seen but I'm thinking it might be a barite pseudomorph instead. Whatever, full of incredible multi-red plumes on jet black.

Mel: The quarters would have been coming out of my pocket pretty quick for these mini slabs. Woody

Chapter 3 wins, Mel. I think you got every dino in Jurassic Park in that basket. Awesome variety. That Chinese carnelian looks pretty sweet too.

Mel,
I just commented on the tabu tabu in your other show thread. Did you get that from the same guy you got the dino bone from? If so, I bet I know the dealer. I have bought dino bone from him three years in a row, out of his 25-cent and $1 bin. I also got a real unusual looking slab of what he said was coprolite two years ago. Looks like a pink flower bloom on black.
Great finds.
