A couple of the others look like they came from my cats box. Is that silver inside them?

Fossilman - Yes they are odd . though not rare here, but not common either . these were found on two, the only two rock hunts of the summer ,in two different locations . Loose finds, no formation, so i m pretty sure their glacial . these dont show much glacial maring but have had and do have a smaller piece from earlier that is quite marred . i will get more pics added showing that one and im gonna cut the chipped one .

Amyk - Funny You mention poop. they do look like poop . i actually sold a big one ebay a few years ago to a seller that listed it as pyritized coprolite . the silver is marcasite. Some are pyrite and chalcopyrite .there may be arsenopyrite and others mixed together too.

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
