Decided to polish the end of some old stock pink Texas Springs limb cast that has been lying around for years.

Limbcasts are awesome! I prefer them just like this - windowed and polished, but with the rind preserved.

Welcome to the forum!
The limb casts were created about 30 million years ago, when what is now the yellowstone caldera was moving through the area. The trees were knocked down and buried. pinon, juniper, cedar, and other pines are the fauna in the area at this time.
