Wow! Looks like the fossils are filled in with TeePee Canyon type agate. Guess that's not too far of a reach since Tee Pees are sedimentary nodules in limestone and I've heard of fossils in both Tee Pees and Dryheads, but man that specimen is a corker.....Mel

Great slab. It's not unheard of to find fossil clams or coral with Fairburn patterning. A friend of mine has 2 of them pictured in Roger Clark's last book on Fairburns.

Holy smokes, that's a gorgeous slab, James, and thanks for sharing it with us. I see what Mel mentioned that looks like dryhead agate and/or teepee canyon agate in it.

How does one get so lucky. I've never seen such a neat looking stone before.

That is really twisted!
Is it me or do the "clams" seem more like snails. Or at least more like abalone?
Thagt is the first stone I have yet to see that I did not want to make a sphere from.

I just slabbed this rock I found on the roadside in Texas while looking for pet wood with brother in law and nephew. Too bad it didn`t have any of these great colors in it. Clams look the same. Attachments:

I think those are brachiopods, not molluscs.

I've got my west river friends watching for a chunk or 3 or 4. Need to get some of that purdy material.
