\nthese weird stone balls!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to a most generous email I received from a reader (thx KDH!), who happens to be both familiar and educated re\/ the geology of this part of Wyoming, I can share the fact of these stones.<\/p>\n

These petrified spherical balls are called Dahlites, they are concretions of the mineral apatite, and they are 100 – 150 million years old.\u00a0 D.A.N.G.\u00a0 It feels amazing to hold something that’s been around that<\/em> long….<\/p>\n

By the way – if you happened to win any of the petrified bones I was giving away earlier this year, those are dinosaur bones!!!!\u00a0 Roughly 150 million years old.<\/p>\n

Now that we’ve had our science lesson, let’s switch to english.\u00a0 Title this photo, won’t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
