| 2009-10-07 | E | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Bob, The thought of pumice or something like it crossed my mind. Given my location, I couldn't put it all together. I have only encountered pumice in Oregon (full of it) and have never seen a sample like this. |

Answers by Expert:
C. Robert Reszka, Jr.
Expertise
I can answer any general geology question (rocks, minerals, stratigraphy, geomorphology etc.). My expertise is in the geology of the Michigan Basin, PreCambrian, Paleozoic and Recent. I can answer questions concerning mining and petroleum exploration and production and the laws concerning those activities. I can also answer questions concerning stratigraphy of the Michigan Basin. I will also answer questions about mineral and rock collecting in the Basin. I won`t be able to answer many specific questions on hydrology, geophysics or geochemistry. I may be able to answer very general questions in those venues.

I have been working for the State of Michigan for 24 years as a Geologist and a Resource Analyst. I have experience with Subsurface Geology and Petroleum Geology, mining in Michigan, and Sand Dune Mining and Protection issues.
