Hey folks! It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to sneak away for a proper field trip. Got the chance to head out Brenda way this past Saturday! Here’s a couple pics

Came across this little interesting memorial out there

Had a great day out there enjoying nature and hounding some rocks. One was a true iceberg.. just a bit sticking up. I kicked at it and it didn’t budge. Started digging it out with my hammer and a several minutes later unearthed this Big Brenda Baby!

I’m guessing she’s pushing 65 pounds or so. Here’s after a little clean up…

Gonna have to travel out East one of these days and visit AzRockGeek to get her cut

Okay, the obligatory tailgate shot

Some of the beauties that followed me home

A small orbicular. the Jasperilla claim is supposed to be out there somewhere.

To say this area has it all is an understatement. rockpickerforever has found a fish fossil out there (and I think petrified palm also), and drocknut has found a huge chunk of gem silica. Scanning the ground I noticed something with a little green…

Gave it a little tap…

Copper minerals for sure. Then I came across this..

Nifty little seam agate with some color. A peek inside…

Yowza some gem silica! (drool)

Definitley did a happy dance there! (party)

Sure was a great day to get out and recharge my battery. Thanks a bunch for coming along! (thumbs-up)

Brian beefjello , sorry for the long delay in getting that information to you. (And in such a round-a-bout way, lol.)

Hope it was worth the wait. Now you know.

It's always worth the wait

I think

I believe you are correct, Son Of Beach. An RTHling living in AZ, Brian beefjello, took photos of the very same plant, while on a rock expedition to one of his favorite rock hounding locations - in Arizona.

Funny that the same plant is found over such a wide range.

Ahh very cool!

Frog eggs?

Some bamboo growing down there and some gourds. No clue how that got there.

Robin, I think the frog eggs are just air bubbles. CO2 expelled from the green algae they are on? If they were frog eggs, they would have a darkish center to them.

As for the misplaced bamboo, at first I thought it might be giant reed grass. Then I enlarged it, and can clearly see brown woody stems that branch off the main truck. So not a grass or bamboo. I'll go with willow. I have a small one in my yard, looks just like that. The seed for it hitched a ride here in dirt from one of our prospecting trips.

Isn't the Verde River where beefjello like to haunt and hunt? He always comes home with some mighty fine rocks!

Thanks for your trip pics, I enjyed them!

Affirmative

I Wanna Rock!!!

Hiya' Brian!

You sure got some nice ones there. We've thought about going over to the river a couple of times recently, but haven't done it yet.

I'm really interested in the gray/white one in the photo below. Parts of it remind me of a small unidentified rock we got in a collection. Hope you'll post some photos of what it looks like inside someday.

Cheers!

Hey Vince, the back side of that one is the pic I posted a little further down..

I'm pretty sure it's from the same deposit as this one I found long ago, and slabbed just last year

forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/90868/slabbin-again

Sort of a loose filament tubey moss thing. Some day I hope to source it (thumbs-up)
