Very cool! I had no idea there were t-eggs in Alaska!
I've picked up some neat red fortification agate nodules in a couple of different rivers coming out of the Wrangells , but have otherwise seen very little agate up there. Nice to know it's around!!

That is so cool. I was wondering why we never see thunder eggs out of Alaska...that place must be covered in them!

It would be nice to see what the outside matrix looks like. Shore is nice inside.

Very nice! - Any chance of getting any of these in a trade?
I still have the others you sent sitting on my desk - have not had time to cut them yet!

Question..............I live in VERY warm weather, with it so cold in Alaska.........how do you pick up the rocks with such thick gloves on to keep your hands warm? LOL

LOL! I find most of them when clearing an area to build my igloo every fall. But seriously, Most of our rivers are glacer fed and don't get much above 40 degrees. It really sucks when you have to walk through one to get to a good hounding area. Now, that doesn't mean I won't go for a dip when it's a blazing 75 degrees though! Lot of gold in that creek.

in 2008 it only hit 70 twice. Also it snowed in July. From pafc.arh.noaa.gov/stories/viewer.php?pId=summer&year=2008The meteorological summer of 2008 defined by the months of June, July, and August will easily be remembered by everyone for how cool it seemed and for how wet July was. In Anchorage...the average high temperature was 60.9 degrees (3 degrees below normal). The average low temperature was 47.7 degrees (1.9 degrees below normal). The average temperature for the season was 54.3 degrees (2.4 degrees below normal)
