Always fun to get random goodies in the mail! Very nice pieces. Thanks for sharing Kyle.
Hey Kyle.. the agate would be an excellent side project. And that geode shape with the fossils…. Boy I'd love to see what that would look like sliced. Cool Mailcall.
Wow! The shells are fantastic! and those shark teeth are so fabulous! All the beautiful colors! They are so beautifully preserved! Just Amazing! and all the different types too! And mica is so pretty! And jade! Wow! That is awesome! That should be fun! And a thunderegg or geode. Who doesnt love thundereggs or geodes? The fire agate is beautiful! And the bone bits are so cool! The only ones i can tell are the dugong because they are so dense and heavy! but the other types of bone fragments are just bone unless its whole and an identifiable species! But even fragments of dugong i can identify. They are really dense! lol! And your video lost sound, right at the end of it, during the bone fragments, so now all of us are wondering what kind of bones those were! Those were some awesome gifts from Florida! You could have sent a little sunshine too ken! lol! Those will all be a fabulous reminder of days much warmer, for us all! Thank you Kyle, for sharing your box of….Florida fun! I cant call it a box of rocks because its mostly not! Its wonderful and Ken told me that before the hurricane anyways, he used to go diving and bring home 1000 teeth a day! And then they were probably lost in the storm! Thanks for sharing!
Nice goodie box..👌 Looks like Mica to me also …
Fire agate? 😮Never seen one before and I’m in love with it❤ Looks like you got all tot fantastic stuff!
What a great gift box! Love all of it. My favorites are definitely the shark teeth, shells and fire agate. That is a fantastic mica book and the bone bits and pieces of turtle shell are very cool! I agree Kyle, I bet that nodule with fossils shells would look amazing cut in half, polished and sitting on a shelf. Thanks for sharing Kyle!✌️🤠🤘
Too bad some of that stuff went missing. I hadn't taped up the sides and I see they were when they got to you. I ran out of packing tape right before I sent that and I rushed to get it out. Have you looked at the shells under the UV yet? They're Pleistocene fossils and glow really pretty with some great patterning. And all those bone fragments are beach worn, which is why I wondered if a polishing wheel might make them shine.
