James: I had a prof friend in college who was a geologist and another that was a paleontologist so I got interested and took a lot of classes in those fields but geology is just a hobby. I'm a wildlife biologist by training and retired from the agricultural department where I was a senior biologist dealing with wildlife issues.
Ain't Texas fun rockhounding? Folks are so friendly and often stop to direct you to a collecting spot. The best agate ground down towards the Rio grande often does seem to be on the high terraces and I think that's why the quarry my buddy get his rock from seems to have less agate these days. It's probably gotten too deep and is not in the best agate layer....Mel
