You did see the leaping sword-fish in the cab, right? Great job on both the cab and the wrap. I like swordfish better. I saw a droopy-nosed dolphin and thought it would be better not to bring that up. This is so funny. This is exactly what I wanted to respond with! LOL Poor dolphin...he's just stuck in a world of sh!t...or he's swimming up Sh!t Creek.

Nose-wise, it does look like a dolphin, but the dorsal fin and tail are more swordfish, so I went with two out of three. NRG what do you see?

Didn't this cab start out as a bull?

Didn't this cab start out as a bull? Nope. Same rock...different cab. I haven't started that one yet. If this HAD been the same cab, we would've had to say the fish looked like a Mahi Mahi (a.k.a a Bull Dolphin!).

I like that one, too! The colors and patterns make me think of cave paintings, especially with those reddish outlines.

RWA3006 a question about the dino poo since we've been talking in another thread about ruby and sapphire fluorescing. Did you ever shine a black light on any of them and see if they fluoresce?

I really like this one. A meta coprolite! The agate makes a dino, especially the top one

Great question, and I can't believe I've never tried it! I need to find my UV light and check. If they do I'll post photos. There's a fair chance they might because these coprolites are associated with a layer high in uranium which fluoresces nicely.

You might have some hot poo there. It'll make ya sterile. Might try a Geiger counter on them too.

Think I'll buy an old Geiger counter on line. Lots of affordable ones from the uranium boom decades ago. Meanwhile, here's one that's not making me glow just yet.

Reminds me of a typical story line from a 1950's horror movie. Now I might start to be afraid it will unleash some malignant being from inside one that I cut open.

There was a study in 1951 of what those minerals did to the plant life. You can download it HERE.It is easy reading, but does not copy well.

Mormon tea is prominent in the area and the plants can be very old. The beverage made from steeping the leaves is quite bitter, but renowned for medicinal properties.
