picasaweb.google.com/abuelitocarlos81/20091224# this is am ancient worm,that died and became calcified,this worm was a catcus eating worm in the high dessert of san louis potosi,mexico,,,,i found it and didnt know what it was till a friend who is a geologist who spent the night at my home was looking at all my minerals and he spotted it,and asked me if he could tell the lady head of the palo dept of monterrey tec,i said okey dokey,well she came with 2 more people and wow she wanted it,,well i didnt want to part with it,well they asked if they could examine it ,yep sure can,,,,she explained these worms were huge and only ate catcus,this part of the dessert some times no rain for 5 or 6 years,they lived on the catcus,,,well she wanted me to donate it to their museaum but i dont trust many museaums,,,,so here it sits ,,my ancient worm,,,,,,ab

Abuelito:) Is that the worm laying across the top that kinda looks like snake skin markings? Cool story Abuelito. I like the way you describe all your stones. Like a story:)
