Howdy folks! It's been a while since I did a contest, I figure it's about time so..

I have before me 2 lots of slabs. 'Lot A' consists of Coprolite, Stromatolite, Crazy Lace and Agatized Coral

'Lot B' consists of a cool unknown purplish sagenitic pseudomorphic kinda thing (lol)

, Burro Creek, Russian Agate and Dino Bone

Both Lots are relatively in the same ballpark as far as weight goes, however one is heavier than the other. All you have to do is tell me:

1) which lot of slabs is heavier (A or B)

and

2) by how much

The answer shall be expressed in whole grams. The one who guesses the heaviest lot AND the difference between the two lots wins all 8 slabs, plus a few other nice extras. If no one guesses the exact difference between the two, then the one who calls the heaviest lot and comes closest to the difference (either over or under) will be the winner.

Clear as rock snot? lol

This contest ends Friday April 2nd, 9 pm AZ time.

Good luck and have fun!! ;D
