Here a couple pictures of some Michigan Fossils I recently polished. Petoskey stones and a Cladpora (cladaphora).   Thanks for looking Chuck |

I like the first one, but REALLY like the second.
Chuck, you do a great job of putting a polish on those soft rocks!

I nominate the larger round Petoskey for tumbled stone of the year!! It's something special.

I did tumble that larger petoskey to completion but after it was done I was not satisfied so I went over to the genie and cleaned it up a bit. That one is over 3" diameter. The other 2 rocks are fully tumbled with no hand work. Chuck |

The Petoskey on the left is my favorite. Great shine on all of them.

The Petoskey on the left is my favorite. Great shine on all of them. I think the cladapora is slowly gaining traction. Probably just due to the lack of knowledge about them. Everyone knows about Petoskey stones but very few even know about these. The people that do know about them tell me they never thought about polishing them or making jewelry from them. Chuck |

Definitely no question as to why you have won the tumbling contest. Very well done Chuck!

The Petoskey on the left is my favorite. Great shine on all of them. Not sure if these are cladapora but the matrix is the same.  |

I just sent a nice slab to MsAli of the cladapora, we'll see if she can get the shine. I like the shine you got on them, pretty awesome. |

Where does one obtain cladapora? I'd like to get my hands on some to cab. That is a Lake Huron rock (Michigan). Nobody has ever really marketed it so I doubt you will find any for sale. If you are just looking to try it for fun I can see if I have a one cab wonder piece laying around. Chuck |
