Auspex Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Almost looks like a tenderloin ready for the grill! Are there many 3-D casts at that tip?

Terry Dactyll Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 RomanK...... Very Nice specimen Well done.... How long as that material been left exposed since it was mined to oxidise ? Sometimes we see red shale in our area (not quite as vivid) that has been heated and turned from grey to red by the coal underneath combusting.... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...

RomanK Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Almost looks like a tenderloin ready for the grill!Are there many 3-D casts at that tip? Agree with 'beef' interpretation. I've found only one. It was an old tip, partly removed to the other place. A lot of really big pieces of dead rock but almost nothing fossilised.

Red colour is because the dead rock contained the Sulfur reacting with Oxigen on the land surface.
