Those are some sweet looking slabs. My fav is the willow creek. The one slab looks like cauliflower lol. It looks like something is printed on it, however I can not make it out. Perhaps you can make it out with a magnifying glass. The slab above it looks like a very pretty piece of pet wood. Daniel

Excellent slabs! That first dino bone is a real gem!
Few more Id's for you:
# 5 sure could be Biggs but those red brown concentric hills are pretty common in African Queen Picture jasper too. AQ is a bit less hard and more coarse grained.
#9 is vesicular basalt with the vesicles filled with little agates which is how a lot of the amygdaloidal agate we collect forms.
#10 I'd say this one looks more like more Willow creek
Last one another moss, looks more like NW material and maybe even a t-egg filling but again, moss is a hard one to pin down unless it's a real type specimen.....Mel

#3 looks like it could be blue lace agate. ---- Don

Thanks all! The reason I labeled the triple piece morrisonite is the back had morrison ranch written on it. Still, if it looks more like willow creek..... Thanks for id help. I'll go edit what I have up there.
