Re: Do You Have Any Geological Questions?

I'll get some pictures tomorrow and e-mail them to you. The slabs are pretty large, though not very thick as most slabs are kinda thin. One of them is quite pretty though.

I had pictures on my computer but the hard drive failed. I'll see if I can get some pictures from him.

My father is trying to sell some slabs of ore from that mine :)

I think it's interesting. They also play a role in bringing Gold to the surface.

Jim,
Where did you get that DVD set? Can I buy a copy somewhere?

Re: Do You Have Any Geological Questions?

playsinthedirt,
can you ask him how to properly identify the outer ring of a Caldera? Also I'm told there is a plant that only grows in Gold bearing regions. Can you ask if he knows what plant this is?
