Outstanding pieces, Brian! I seem to recall, some years back, that you found some in some landscaping rock along a fast-food drive through, as well. It's been a while since I've had time for the hobby and board so maybe I'm mixing things up! Nice pickups!

Paul great to see you back!

I'm thinking it was a Taco Bell in Albuquerque, but I'd have to dive back in the archives to be sure

I Wanna Rock!!!

Hmm, Are you sure those are red-tails? To me they look like a couple of young Coopers hawks, slender body, long legs and tails, eye bar, and short broad wings points to accipitor to me when i see the pic.

They look like Coopers to me, too. Our "kids" look like that. Red-taileds have a different pattern on their breast feathers, too.

Um Robin.. looks like one of your kids got loose! (freaked)

Glad you found the old WF and a stash of great looking rocks man!

Still have my old Workforce and it's sporting the original blade! Even did a tile job in our kitchen and bathroom with it.

Imagine using one of those things for what they were intended for

Thanks everyone! I've seen similar multicolored, almost water line looking fragmented jasper running through some Bull Canyon agate I cut.. but of course that's running through moss and not a clear agate with dendrites.

Interesting and fun stuff to be sure

1dave thanks for your contributions to this thread!

Thank the Kid. One of the things he taught me was to look for the differences from each area.

Mexican coconuts have smooth rounded interiors because of all the calcium in that soil.
Richardson Ranch Blue Beds tend to form square box shaped interiors because of

??
Those he first found as a kid in California had a lot of markacite in them. others had mercury.
There is a lifetime of learning in his museum collection.

WHY are the attached eggs so different? Something before they moved into that neighborhood?

Fabulous Bakers, Brother! (whoa)
