The shell rock :)

Ok, I know now that it is not suiseki, but I wanted to show you this pic... ok... this is a kind of fossile I found on a beach some years ago... hope you can enjoy it, if it is enjoyable...

OH... it is over one of the rocks I like to carve, to make little pots...

Ok, I see that big rock underneath is sort of shaped like one open shell, like the clam on top might look if it were opened.

Maybe

Re: The shell rock :)

I have not seen to many fossil's in igneous rocks. They usaully come from metamorphic rocks os sedimetary rocks?

Re: The shell rock :)

Jajajajaja.... Well, I got you all confused, right? or am I the confused one? well, don't really know... Matt you have a great imagination and Al you doubt everyting... well, the reall kind of "fosile" is the little rock, I don't know if it can be called a fosile indeed, but it is certainly a methamorphic rock (caliza and some organic material) with the shape of a shell... the rock underneath it is an igneous rock, but it certainly is just a "stand" for the rock I wanted to show you, and the clam idea sounds nice...

well, if you want to laugh at me, don't do it loud... at least try not to do that...

Re: The shell rock :)

Well, I think I understand now. The lava is not the matrix. It is being used to display the shell. Cool.

Exactly, it's just a "stand"
