Recommended Posts

hi folks,

Heres the pictures I promised ya, sorry about the delay I was in a terrible car crash, They tell me my car rolled over 30 times but I only remember the first one, and am a little slow today.

Anyway I have included 1 clam, 1 clam and yellow calcite crystals and 4 smaller pieces, all with yellow calcite.

The first pictur is a top and bottom of a clam with many yellow calcite crystals in between.about 4"x3"

The second shot is a whole clam with yellow calcite rimming the top and a sphere of calcite at the core. 4"x3"

The next shot is a piece of clam with calcites about 2"x2"

next is a shell with calcites on 1 side and shell on the other, about 1 1/2"x1 1/2".

the last is a small piece 1 inch long.

Let me know if you are interested in any of these and i will send more pics of each, I can only load up to 2 meg in pictures here.post-1518-1239485571_thumb.jpg

I guess you're OK, else we wouldn't be having this conversation!

No need to apologize for such a terrible accident. The important thing is that you are okay. Nice fossils by the way.

You're a rolling car walker too! I've been in 2 bad rolls, so definitely no need to apologize. Glad you're okay.
