ABC Wednesday - T


I took yesterday off, and I'm only now getting organised with my ABC Wednesday post!

We've reached the 20th letter this week - T.
I couldn't make up my mind what to post, so I'm offering a bit of everything.

Firstly, T is for
TIGEREYE


T
is also for
TURRITELLA AGATE.
This unusual stone is also a fossil, being composed of silicised Turritella shells. You can see the shapes of some of the spiral shells in the stones.


Lastly, here's an even more unusual stone.
These are slightly polished
TEKTITES
formed when a meteorite hit the Earth.
The heat melted the area around the strike, and sprayed droplets over a wide area.


So there you have my late contribution.
Mr Linky has given us up, so now I can only direct you to the comments at Mrs Nesbitt's Place, and to the no-comment Anthology page.
