So where are the Fairburns ?
I've been to RR Buttes several times and have never found anything like that. Next trip out that way, take it to the S.D. School of Mines in Rapid City. They should be able to ID it.

Can you do some preliminary test? Does a pocket knife scratch it? Sabre52

Reminds me of Mary Ellen Jasper but the wrong color. Interesting, very interesting.

No it did not scratch with a knife. It also did not scratch with an agate.

How about we call it salamander jasper? It looks like the yellow spotted salamander. By the looks of the outside I do think it is some kind of wood.

I reckon you can call it Peggy if that is what floats your boat, but I'd probably go with Teredo wood.
