I sorted through some tumbles my son busted up today and set these aside. Ones like this end up in our personal collection. All self hounded.  Chuck |

Nice for sure, give the young man a bigger allowance!!! He also finds at least twice as many as I do when we hunt for them. When we were hounding with Jugglerguy we came to the conclusion that kids find more because they are closer to the ground. I just washed off the stuff he busted and got rid of the small debris.

Nice dish of rocks. Does your personal collection of pudding stones get displayed upstairs, or does it have to live in the basement? I really don't have many stones on display in the house. There's a plate of them on the coffee table in the living room, three Petoskey stones around the base of a fish carving my father in law did, and then a a bunch in my son's room. I was wondering what you were allowed to display outside of the basement.

I was wondering what you were allowed to display outside of the basement. One wicker basket full of tumbles upstairs. Probably at least 30 pounds of my favorites in there and so full that now I have to remove some each time I add some. Works out good and keeps them rotated with the latest goodies. Not many pudding stones upstairs other then our coaster set and a few magnets on the fridge. Chuck |

That's a big basket of rocks! I tried putting a Michigan shaped Petoskey on the fridge, but Nancy didn't like it there. She displays little clay magnets that Allison made instead. I'm not jealous though. Really.

Does pudding stone grow/occur/show up anywhere else?
I've never seen it around here. California

What Pat said. The Great Lakes kinda dances to it's own drummer when it comes to geology.
Giant comets and glaciers attacked that territory.

California I have seen people post other varieties of conglomerates that they have called pudding stone but I have only heard of this type being found in Michigan,Northern Ohio and some have said North east Indiana. It was carried with glaciers down from Canada so the very northern part of Michigan is the highest concentration and as you go south you find less and less. The black outline is the rough area they are found. The red outline is the island I get all of mine on. There is an island just north of me in Canadian water that is supposed to have an even higher concentration of them.  Chuck |
