Hey folks my turn for a contest. I have two rocks here.. a chunk of Dino Bone and a Botswana Agate. They are somewhat similar in weight, but one is heavier than the other. Your mission is to tell me: A) which is heavier.. the Bone or the Bots and B) how much is it heavier (the difference) in whole grams Here's another look at the bone. It is faced and shows a lot of empty cells, but there is a nice ribbon of solid material running through it. There may be some nice cabs lurking in this piece though I think it's a nice specimen the way it is And the bots. There are some fractures showing on the skin.. how deep they go I don't know but slabbed I think some dynamite cabs could be cut working around the fractures, or even busted up for some fantastic tumbles. Again.. it's a nice specimen just the way it is The first two pics are cropped on the scale. Tell me which one is heavier and by how much (without going over) and these two will be yours. Please one guess per person until I give some hints. I will try to pop in regularly to let you know who's getting 'hot' This contest will end when someone guesses the exact difference, or is closest by this coming Sunday at 6 pm Arizona time. So.. what's the difference??? :cheesy:

It's a trick question. Weight isn't measured in grams. Mass is measured in grams.
Ok, I don't really think it's a trick. My guess: The Bot has 546 more mass.

Shoot, I didn't see the second page when I guessed. I'm changing my guess to the Bot by 234 grams.
