Adber Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have been wanting to jump into one of these topics.... Here is a blue beryl from Case Quarry in Connecticut that I collected back in 2011... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Blue is really difficult for Carboniferous corals. The nearest I've got are a few with some partial blue chalcedony replacement and this is probably the best looking one. It's a Siphonophyllia sp. where the bubbly dissepiments around the outside have been agatised. Edited May 27, 2016 by TqB Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squali Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Here is some vivianite in a non fossilized branch. It is one of my favorite minerals. It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankh8147 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Fun thread! I've come to the conclusion that almost all my blue fossils are shark teeth but I tend to overlook them in my collection so this is a chance for me to give them their spotlight. Cretaceous Goblin shark tooth in matrix (with Belemnite Phragmacone), Squalicorax tooth (with pyrite/marcasite ammonite piece), and a Hemi and Mako from Calvert.
