This I think is a piece of a knuckle. It is actually a good size for this location.

the yellow cat name is in reference to the location in Utah. Settlers were searching for Uranium and that's when they found the dino bones, etc. The material is some of the most sought after for rockhounds and collectors.

Here is a quick link I found. Also there is Tusher Canyon that is 15-20 miles or so away from The main Yellow Cat Flats. The material looks identical. The Yellow Cat material brings in more money but it is very hard to determine the difference from Yellow Cat material and Tusher Canyon material.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
