CH4ShotCaller Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for finding my wife's tofu cook books! She'll be thrilled! (Please bury them again). Good looking layers though, would love to expose each layer, could be insects!

sward Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I really enjoyed the "first" response to this post, but I think it may have been editted for "pc" reasons. I won't mention any other than that. What people used to read, I think they called them "books." Books??? I remember hearing of those things. SWardSoutheast Missouri (formerly Dallas/Ft.

Dromiopsis Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 ok, after many threats and blackmail ..... I give you the solution ... it's alun shales from the upper Cambrian of Sweden, Vänern lake, Kinnekulle When you arrive in this very old quarry, you are surprised to see "stack of books"....The workers used to cut the alun shales If you look in details, you can see the migration of the alun salt on the borders.... In the cliff, more concentrated salts are present under places not wetted by the weather. Alun quarries were exploited during 300 years in Sweden, the shales were extracted, boiled and the salt was obtain by evaporation.thousands of families worked in this business but when the chemists were able to manufacture cheaper and purer alun in laboratories...the decline This old quarries give now nice trilobites....Olenus, Agnostus, Peltura......dozen and dozen of species....

Dromiopsis Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hello! Just a little update about Alun Shales During my last trip in Sweden, I have prospected in a new quarry for me. I am always surprised and fascinated when I look at alun limestones..... This old little quarry is now a field with cows, with small walls. But you can find nice slabs with Agnostids with a beautiful black and white contrast.

Herb Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 cows have walls? Well alum is a salt. I wouldn't mind spending a little collecting time there myself. Very cool.
