Texas in all its varieties (see other threads) is the next material I'll be requesting images for.
(The next states to be requested will be New Mexico and a mix Oklahoma/Kansas.)
We are now requesting images of material from the great states of TEXAS for this thread. For this thread we're looking for petrified material and agatized fossil material. (The Lambert Ranch Crinoid Limestone is welcome as a peripheral material of interest). The images can be of rough, polished specimens, cabs, or tumbled stones. If you have any that you're willing to share, please post with a brief note on the region and its common name (if it has one.) Credit for the photo will be assigned to your name or online title (or not at all if that's your choice.)
Any material that fits under the heading agate/jasper/chert and has a fossil content is welcome to be posted here, even if it is from lesser known locations.
There are many places that would be readily known to people outside the state. We'd love to see samples of these. If in doubt, POST!

Bumping this to an easier location to access for updating Agate Indexes.
If you have anything to add, please do so!
If you just want to give me permission to copy your photos, just PM me your permission.
