Mysterious Mud Spheres! Rockhounding Septarian Nodules

Rockhounding for Septarian Nodules on the San Rafael Swell did not disappoint! We found lots of Septarian Nodules packed with Calcite and Aragonite crystals. We slabbed them, polished them, and delved into the subject of Calcium Carbonate Polymorphs, particularly calcite and aragonite. This was our third trip rockhounding the San Rafael Swell this year. In the first two trips we found Agate, Jasper, Petrified Dinosaur Bones (which we left in place), Gastroliths (rounded agate from a dinosaur gizzard), and strange nodules containing celestite, barite, quartz crystals, jasper, and who knows what else.
