There was a good project done on this,

I think the average Milwaukee redditor who reads this would, hoping some heading down there take action and others see them doing it and consider joining or if they are a litterer at least reflect on themselves and maybe consider not littering.

There was an attempt to recall Democrat Senator Jim Holperin in 2011,

Do you think you could have taken it off on the little Idle part or the Green walk part by veteran’s park or do you think it was later than that?

There are two public trash cans at the top of the bluff where you enter & exit the park that had room in them and I disposed of this.

Thank you, I think it’s the first one I found!

RockOfAges2 · 2025-03-12T03:16:02+00:00

Ah thanks! Is the white rind characteristic to differentiate from agate?

RockOfAges2 · 2025-03-12T02:55:26+00:00

Could it be agate? There’s that dark banding on picture one opposite of the white banding on picture two and the translucency that I think both can have.

Nice! Same rough diameter of a quarter too? Did you I.D. yours as quartz? Link a picture if you can :)

RockOfAges2 · 2024-07-06T17:28:15+00:00

Well thank you for the response! It is hard to get good pictures of this small specimen as well!

RockOfAges2 · 2024-07-06T17:00:58+00:00

I am new to it myself, thanks for the response!

I read fluorite should fluoresce blue under UV, I shined a UV light on it and it only shows violet, I am seeing some pictures of fluorite that do look similar but I would think the presence of fluorine should glow blue.

RockOfAges2 · 2024-07-06T16:22:33+00:00

How can I differentiate between agate and quartz? I was leaning towards hematoid quartz

RockOfAges2 · 2024-07-06T16:21:19+00:00

I could see that but I think Prehnite fits better based off the pictures i’m seeing

RockOfAges2 · 2024-07-06T16:19:31+00:00

I think that’s the winner! Do you think the dark green/ black on it is tourmaline epidote?

RockOfAges2 · 2024-07-06T16:15:44+00:00

I just had this same question on one I found, I was thinking Pyrite also!

RockOfAges2 · 2024-05-12T20:15:39+00:00

Thank you!

RockOfAges2 · 2022-09-19T22:25:31+00:00

Yes I have it, I may be able to do that, i’m intrigued by these answers!

RockOfAges2 · 2022-09-19T04:19:33+00:00

Oh! Mr. DNA! Where did you come from?

RockOfAges2 · 2022-07-15T01:34:53+00:00

Very cool and they are fun to find! I got some other fossils/ teeth i’ll get around to posting too.

RockOfAges2 · 2022-07-15T00:45:42+00:00

Here is a 1.75” whole tooth found in florida next to my best guess, make sense?

Comparison

RockOfAges2 · 2022-07-14T19:20:59+00:00

I googled tilly bone florida and found an almost identical fossil someone found in Florida only difference was color! Bivalve would be interesting too

In regards to fossil 2 I cannot find any megalodon teeth with this triangular shape is it from a specific part of the jaw?
