Here is an Obsidian piece from the edge of a flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I like it too. It's a relic of an elemental earth force, with seemingly infinite variety of form. Real nice specimens you have there "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

astron Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hello everyone. ''Leaves in lava...'' . It sounds superb. But could it be??? A long ago I've found in my area my first plant material. It was two rocks containing leave layers mainly of platanus sp. The first rock is of a normal color, as shown in the pic 1. The second rock bears the colors of a burning like appearance and I didn't respect it since the leaves it contains are not in a good condition. Thanks to bdevey's idea about lava, this second rock came on mind and so I present two pieces of it: the first in the pics 2-5 and the second in the pics 6-10. I clarify that there is not any additional material (luster or anything) on these pieces. Am I into the topic??? If not, sorry for the trouble. Best regards Astrinos Astrinos P.

piranha Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi Astrinos ... another HOT topic ?? I'm with Lordpiney and definitely have no idea if that specimen is lava? Organic material is not implausible if the igneous strata is redeposited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
