Steffenfield gets the win. "Oolites" are close enough to what those things are, which are pisolites. Only difference is size.

Thanks Red!

Yeah, that one was so brutal.... Anyway, my answer was for the one cross section slide, the 2nd picture I believe. The first picture was far too small for me to see on my mobile device.

Anyway, many, many thanks for all of those glorious blessings. I'm sure Religious Girl is so very proud of me right now.

Hey Red!

Are you all done posting questions here?

I really do like them and I have so little to live for. *lol*

 

[Redneck Crow]

For five million blessings, what is it? (Answer has to include the correct organism which produced this item)

 

[Redneck Crow]

The items shown are something produced by something.

Get those two "somethings" right and you win.

 

[holyrokker]

Pearls produced by mollusks

 

[Redneck Crow]

Since this is a tough one, I'm going to give you the 5,000,000 blessings for that answer. And additional 5,000,000 to whoever identifies the name of this pearl plus the name of the mollusk which produced it.

Heck, that was such an oddball one that I'm giving holyrocker an additional 5,000,000 blessings. He got the hard part right.

 

[Steffenfield]

Ah nuts. Someone already beat me to it.

Well, it's a melo pearl made from a marine or Bailer Shell.

Welcome back Red!

 

[Redneck Crow]

Blessings sent!

The melo melo pearl is created by a snail, as opposed to the more conventional pearls created by bivalve mollusks.

Here's more about them if anyone is interested. Melo melo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So glad to have you back Red!

I've missed you and your questions on these.

The "what is it" of the day, for 5,000,000 blessings:

The following are illustrations of........

 

[Steffenfield]

That's a Buckyball, or fullerene, molecular model.

I love the easy questions, Red.

 

[Redneck Crow]

Yup. That was kinda easy.

Blessings sent!

 

[Steffenfield]

Thanks for the blessings Red.

Yeah, I think I got that one in under a minute.

Make 'em tougher.

 

[ThirstyPossum]

I'm posting this for Auntie Crow. She is too busy being mean to do it.

For 5,000,000 blessings, what is it?

 

[.Iona.]

A Gobiconodon.

 

[blessedmomof5]

That was easy ?

I love the easy questions, Red.
