westex11 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I found this rock that seems to be a geod. There is a bed of them, someof which are the size of truck tires. Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masonboro37 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yep, that is a monster geode. I would go back if I were you! Process of identification "mistakes create wisdom". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitbat Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I wouldn't get TOO crazy about stocking up on them. Calcite (probably)-filled vugs aren't all that uncommon in Texas. A vug differs from a geode in that geodes are formed separately from the surrounding sedimentary rock while vugs are cavities in a rock formation that often fill with a crystalline druse. Still...a VERY nice find! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanatocoenosis Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 By definition, geodes have a chalcedony rind; anything else is a nodule. 2012 NCAA Collegiate Round Ball Champs; and in '98, '96, '78, 58, '51, '49, and '48, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost1066 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Might be common there but others might love to trade for them that don't have them laying around. I find stuff here every trip out it is so common i leave it on the ground yet other folks beg me to send it to them. Common, uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
