I love closeup pictures, so I thought a thread for some would be fun.
 Here is a cool piece of Colorado Goethite.  Colorado Zeolite.  A nice Tube Agate from Del Norte Colorado.  I would love to see any closeup pictures you may have.

QUOTE (swizz @ Feb 22 2010, 08:11 PM)  Those are incredible! Me likes fossils. Can't help but wonder what causes that sand grain effect, looks really cool enlarged. I was wondering the same thing Swizz, so with a little more research I came up with this....... "Digestive system of gastropods" QUOTE In most species, the stomach itself is a relatively simple sac, and is the main site of digestion. In many herbivores, however, the hind part of the oesophagus is enlarged to form a crop, which, in terrestrial pulmonates, may even replace the stomach entirely. In many aquatic herbivores, however, the stomach is adapted into a gizzard that helps to grind up the food. The gizzard may have a tough cuticle, or may be filled with abrasive sand grains. Guess it is sand.
