[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 288015, member: 2976"] Is slatey the name of a place? A bit of basic info about the geology of the area could be useful. Here in eastern QLD and eastern NSW north of Sydney much of the landscape is volcanic in origin and petrified wood has it's origin in wood being buried in silica-rich material ejected from volcanoes. But I think much of the landscape in SA is sedimentary (you're in SA?). That's not to say there is no vulcanised ground at all - the place Little Gem Hunter picked up those feldspar pieces looks volcanic. Interesting specimen anyhow. [/QUOTE]
