She should have shot vertical and got the stone in better focus.

Lol. I was also wanting a close-up.

I know the geologists are all nodding, "Yeah, Resolving's right, crop the sides, shoot vertical; CJ got it, move in close."

It doesnt have to be coral polyps, but the rest is correct

Yay, even the metamorphic sandstone part? You're still the supreme genius twitter polymath, even geology, my old nemesis.

Yes, um, guess they have to evolve first or something. Can be made of shells?

Shells of diatoms and a few dinoflagellates

Wonderbar! What was really interesting is the church they made of the evidence of a massive bolide impact (impact quatz it's called).

I've been known to photograph countertops in bars/hotels & pull out a hand lens/get down on all fours to look at a broken cobblestone.
-
Countertop at my dentist = zoned feldspar megacrystic granite, I take photos every time.
-
DH: Why are u taking a picture of your hand? Me: I'm not. Well, I am, but it's for scale. These counter tops are made of rapakivi granite!
