Well you really do learn something new everyday done you, I had no idea!

Is flint classed sedimentary then? It doesn't generally fit the mould for a sedimentary rock does it.

Pre-lithified chalk is a calcareous ooze on the sea floor, so this gel, a 'mobile, gelatinous, silica-based mass', flowed through it and was thus redistributed.

can i use this for a signature? lol


by the way, yesterday i was to begin the first day of my Geology 100 class with the University of Maryland here in Okinawa, by my stupid car broke down on the way to class. i ended up repairing my clutch slave cylinder instead of going to class. i got "pwnd" by modern technology again. maybe i should make a Flintstones car...it would sure be more reliable!

Certainly not!

You are however welcome to

This contemporaneous precipitation can be established by trace minerals .

Or "Flint is made from Sponges"

i missed my first Geology class due to a broken-down car (yes, i chose my screenname appropriately!). I haven't yet read the chapter in the textbook covering how sponges turn to flint. I'm only on chapter 1!
