Fossildude19 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I think I'm with Coco on this. Looks like some pretty rocks.

Ammojoe Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The first photo which Shamus think's is a geode is a piece of Flint/Churt. The last photo is not opal, like the other's say it's a rock. Joe Kind regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old dead things Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 A geode is hollow or has inclusions. A thunder egg is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
