Howdy folks,
Last Wednesday I had me some free time so I went over to the Eagle Pass rockpile to hunt around for a bit. Must have gone through a couple of tons of gravel but the quarry still seems to be in kind of a dead zone. Used to get a couple of five gallon buckets of Rio Grande Agate right off the top but this was my lowest yield ever from this stuff. Anyway, a few pics just cause this has been the only hunt I've had any time for lately......Mel
Saw sharpener rock, Devil's Toenails:
Swirly Rio Grande rhyolite:
Brecciated jasper of some sort, kind of ehhh:
The only Rio Grande Moss I found. Least it's a red'un:
Rio Grande Poppy which is actually orbicular ( spherulitic) rhyolite:
More of the same in different colors and patterns:
