Howdy, Got the camera recharged so here are some more pics of my rockpile finds for this morning. Thanks for looking...Mel Rio Grande rhyolite. This comes in a ton of patterns. Wild jasper that is a dead ringer for Indian Blanket Jasper from Utah. Big hunk of Palm?wood/ Almost 4" by 8" by 3" thick . Looks like usual straw formations of palm fiber but a bit different. Other pet wood: Really wild agate with red moss pom poms against purplish agate Odd wonderstone? Some very pretty puddingstone type breccia in this stuff: Small moss agate in middle and some jasper: Don't know why but lots of purples in this stuff. This piece is flint I guess but looks just like lots of the purple Burro Creek material.

nice material Mel...
The wonderstone looks alot like some Louisiana river agates that wyobrian gave me from his brother. The purple flint reminds me of Alibaties chert, maybe?
