Would that be algae or would that be lichens? just wondering!

Bob, those are lichens on top of a few inches of petrified algae.

Thanks for the further information, I would love to be there with you!!!

this is the parent chuck the slab came from!

Cool beans! That’s awesome, now bar your door! Lol

The only reason I found it at all was it was laying on the ground right in front of my shop door and I have been walking around it for a year! It a wonder I did not throw it on the rock pile!

I like the learning opportunity this presents.
woodman can you provide some input?
Thank you Victor for the help, it seems there is agreement with “Arizona, Sunset, and Dendritic”
SO amazing that folks can look at a rock and tell you right where it came from, like Burro Creek... just awesomeness.

Really I have no clue of what it is, I got it from a garage sale in Prineville Oregon afew years ago. A friend told me Burro Creek also, so could be. It should make some real good cabs.

Been lapping on this one for some time, pictured wet not yet polished, not a whole round but still kind of nice looking.

now to get on to the next step! about 25 inches across

25 inches.....I think I could fit it in my 20 inch Lap!!! (icon_think)

It is a very nice piece.

If you broke it up into itty bitty pieces it would fit!
