Three fragments this weekend, all from the same bend in the river. The ribbing on the largest one is sharp enough that it cannot have travelled far. Next trip: bring a sieve and a better hand lens.
Field notes on old rocks, small tools and long walks.

Pencil on waxed paper still wins. Every pen I tried smeared after an hour in drizzle, and phone notes do not work with muddy fingers.
One label goes in the bag, one goes on the specimen. Bags tear; the specimen remembers where it came from.
