Lone Hunter Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Quartz and calcite are very common minerals, Texas is littered with them so pretty sure your collection is safe outside. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their bizarre curved, twisted singular, or grouped chambers create all kinds of suggestive forms. Thanks, but I can not say much more. Some of them have lost their shell after being filled with drusy calcite. So only a crystalline internal mold is left behind.

Ludwigia Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I suppose I'm allowed to say that your samples are of no great monetary value, but they are nevertheless excellent and very exemplary specimens of the crystalized rudist fauna from your area and it's well worth keeping them on display either inside or outside. 2 1 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
