A: I found most of it was leverite. (Leave her right where you found it!) I spent many summers, before I started doing much AMC (and other) wrenching, on the Red Deer river in Alberta, Canada exhuming the remains prehistoric of HUGE snails (we had one shell 4' across that was listed in Guiness World book for some time) and other Permian period "end of trail" lifeforms. Others, similar to AMC, were thrown together and mixed up to produce different species, that although they don't look the same, they are still related. (IE: Humvee till the GM takeover, which are still the same for military use till someone finds/designs/builds something better. Jeep XJ and TJ which have undergone changes that make it too civilized and docile for it's real purpose. Had someone ask for a 2WD version of the Jeep Rubicon! Total poser! Tld him to get a regular 2WD and paint the rubi stripes himself, but it won't blend in with the rest of the pack off road) From: "Mahoney, John" <jmahoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx'" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Stoned Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2005 17:28:28 -0500 40+ years ago, skipping stones on the Sound, I wondered if they returned as sand and gravel mixed with [Portland] cement. Would they be concrete block/pours to build something worthwhile? Could they vanish into black depths today and rise sky-high tomorrow? Would they re-appear shiny new on someone else's shore? Would they then be lobbed by some other kid or put in a shoebox? Were they igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary "earth history" or simply rocks to be thrown?
