Rocks Anne Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Sifted gravel at Crater of Diamonds over 100 hours - no diamonds; brought home 565 lbs of rocks from North Carolina mines - no emeralds or rubies; spent over $330 or organized trips to cliffs - no meg teeth; posted pics of my 'fossil vertebrae' - found out they are flint nodules. Here is part of my fossilized wood collection: (holding breath....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocks Anne Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 HURRAY! Finally - thanks all! (You guys are much nicer than the stuffed shirts in the photography forums.) PS: Forgot to say I collected all of it from rivers /creeks in Oklahoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nice pet wood there. Congrats on the finds and I can't wait to see your next finds.

barefootgirl Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Don't get discouraged, just keep it up and you'll be buried in good finds before you know it. I took my daughter hunting diamonds in Arkansas this past March. We didn't find anything either and we both agreed it was boring .

Tony Eaton Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nice petrified wood! I guess this was the southeastern corner of OK, i.e. cretaceous, although if from the "older" rock in OK might be more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Wood. Next time in Arkansas, try the Ron Coleman quartz mine in Jessieville, outside of Hot Springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Eaton Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ah cool, so maybe that is Permian fossil wood, or possibly Pleistocene. I guess all the red (iron) mineral adds a nice color to the wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hey, how did you get picts of my bedroom? I'm starting to run out of room for stuff as well. I have this horrible feeling I'm gonna be on that show about hoarders one day. I keep thinking one day, I'll meet a great guy who will build me shelves and display cases to put all my stuff in. Wishful thinking I know. In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.
