SteveE Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Superficially, this beauty looks just like the pics of live ones from Shark's Bay, Australia. Central Pennyslvania, USA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Nice one, it does look like a whole Shark Bay stromatolite! I was up in the Kootenays (B.C. Rocky Mtns) collecting Precambrian ones, but there were none that were anywhere near complete, just chunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorp Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Would be interesting to see a polished slice of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about it, but we're going to mount this head as is. There are lots of bits and pieces in my area so we'll probably start learning to cut on those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to slice a piece or two of my Kootenay specimens but it's hard to decide which, though they are all incomplete chunks. I'll make a decision and cut one or two once I get my saw working again.
