Lace collars

Cryptolithus fragments known as "lace collars"

small trilobite

A very small trilobite from Kentucky.  I almost missed him.  He or maybe she, I don't know about trilobites, is about 1/8 of an inch long.

Last of Summer, First of September

last of Summer, first of September ----- Cabbed, well, the upper left one is not finished, rocks picked up on the generous beaches of Michigan.  All the ones at the right contain fossils, the smallest one show a coral.  I'm not sure what the two middle dark ones show.  Bits of this an that, I'm sure.  Iron, I know which showed silvery, but "rusted" quickly.  If you look closely on the lower right edge of the cream colored one, you may see a trilobite.

I think the reddish one on the left is Mary Ellen Jasper, but that has yet to be confirmed.
