thank you Jim, I am going to try to magnify that section of the rock, I thought it was quartz infilling of some sort, hadn't thought of it as fragments. Deserves a better look... maybe somebody else will chime in with thoughts and comments to confirm or deny?

the other board had a guy who knows the material and works with it. An odd/rare form of Mary Ellen Jasper only found in a small area of the Iron Range in Mn. Pretty attractive stuff!

yes it has turned out to be a form of stromatolite, the locals call it cobra jasper according to the other site, here is a link to the kind of stromatolite and the age it was formed. I think it is beautiful ! www.fossilmall.com/EDCOPE_Enterprises/stromatolite/stromatolites6/stromatolites6.htmalso makes me think of some of the stuff that rockpickerforever calls fish poop... those little corpuscle looking cells.... (thinking)
