Found these in West Texas, 40 miles East of Fort Stockton and atop Sherbino Mesa.
If anyone has any idea what some of these may be, or advice on what I should look for next time I go out there please let me know.

If I ran across a bucket of those , I would certainly look through them carefully for some good stuff. Meaning it looks interesting but its hard to tell what you have from photos. You certainly have a variety of color. The last pic looks like quartzite, the next to last hematite nodules, and the next ? But do some of the ones with cavities appear to have vugs or indications of agates. It would be agate and jasper material that could be represented in some of the darker rocks with indications of a silicated origin. That area appears to be focus of a large wind farm. Is it accessible to the wayward rock hound or only to construction crews and owner authorized folks?

I'll have to go through it all some more, I'm still pretty new so I'm not sure what to look for to identify agates or jasper but those are what I'm most interested in.
As far as I know everything out there is private property, and you'd need to permission to rock hound.
