KT was pleased this morning when He looked in the Royal Mail Box and couple of packages were in there! Along with the normal junk mail!
Anyway, all of these specimens originated in Madagascar!
The first one has several pictures....The Egg! I measures 2" in length. First picture is in natural light with a white background, 2nd image is backlit on a black background, 3rd image shows it in SWUV, and the 4th image shows it in LWUV. KT likes the fluorescent banding in it!
The other samples are of dinosaur bone, and measures a little over 1" diameter. Does not look like much in natural light but the bone pore structure shows up nicely in SWUV! The second dino bone sphere is about the same size and under SWUV whatever mineral has replaced the bone, some of it shows up as circular whorls on the surface of the sphere...does not show anything unusual in natural light!
KT has no idea what happened to the size of two of these pictures, but they are tiny! HA HA His Majesty tried to change their size to be more viewable but nothing worked! Oh well!
Enjoy the pictures! KT likes His Royal Dino Bone striker sized marbles!
Wow KT you definitely manage to keep finding more unusual specimens
I think you really might be close to qualifying as a mini-museum
Definitely unusual (but neat) looking specimens, makes me feel like digging around more on my own property hoping for the remote possibility of finding an unusual mineral specimen (I have found some neat looking rocks before, but nothing I don't think would be considered rare )
