No telling Dave. Looks like brecciation played a hand. The earth must have been a violent spot at one time.

I'd like to know, too. What is that specific science called? Lithomorphology?

What I see is that as the dendritic moss was growing,
1.An oval gas bubble was filling with silica jell from the outside to the center as it cooled and pressure dropped. 2. While the agate was still a jell, a shock broke it into segments. 3. A jar from the upper left pressed material down into the oval and forced it into the moss.  |
