mateoj and I spent a weekend in southern Utah rockhounding around Yellocat, Floy, and the Swell. Had a great time and felt pretty good about our haul. Would've like to have... ahhheeem..."seen" some dino but no dice. Here are a few pics from the trip. thanks for looking! P.s. sorry the images are so big, for some reason when i try to attach them smaller they don't work.

Yellocat:

Looking south towards Arches

Greasewood Draw:

This nodule had a layer of pink and orange opal on the inside. I hadn't seen that before

grape agates

Floy:

Pigeon Blood Agate
