Wow Roger! Those are way different. Some of the patterns look almost like Mexican material. You can sure tell they're classic sedimentary agate nodules though, because you've got some neat fossils in that limestone matrix You need to write you a book on these new finds you're making because a lot of that stuff is not described in current works at all.....Mel

Very cool agates, especially the last one. Looks like a combo of several different ones. Karock

Roger--what beauties!!!! I am assuming that you no longer smack rocks apart with a hammer on the middle of the floor like you used to do?! These agates are amazing, I can't imagine how excited you must have been when you found them!!!! Nona
