.
-Typical colors: Black, white, gray,
red (look washed down).
-Typical sizes:
3 to 15 centimeters
-Typical shapes: Thunderegg-like
(bubbly), some are heavily weathered.
-Most distinguishing characteristic:
Small gray thundereggs with bits of brown balls on the surface. Colors
of the agate are more washed out than Baker Eggs. Agate waterlines are
far common in Tavenier eggs than Baker Eggs.
-Special Notes: TThey're 1/4 mile
apart, but Tavenier eggs share the same strata as Baker Eggs. The
main difference is that the agates of Tavenier eggs were deposited in wetter
enviroments, hence, more waterlines, transparent agates, and washed down
colors.
