Yep, and I couldnt tell you what the 3 objects are in the orb pattern? Still reading up on them.

I'm wondering if they may be a funky formation of sagenite? Have you been able to look at them under magnification, spiritstone?

Sort of had the same thought regarding the Rio. Show you a little bit later one that does look to be a Rio.

because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know.

I thought this first one was close looking to a Rio Fossilman.
