Most of these samples are from two dredges, thanks to WHOI's Dan Fornari from a cruise on R/V Melville. Another sample I have, thanks to engineer Rod Catanach when he was on R/V Dayang Yihao |

| 13" wide x 4.25" high There are two Galpagos glazes on here, one interior and one exterior; coordinates from both are documented on the tall foot-ring which says: in: 1°52.96'north 91°16.96'west ~ out: )°47.21'north 9°54.09' west. | | | 10" wide x 1" high Seaglass center framed by sediment from Namibia, a place said to be a deposit from 650 million years ago, when the Earth was mostly covered by glaciers.

| 7.75"high x 5.5"wide From two dredges at North Galapagos Seamounts area. Wow, with all that comes from the kiln--disappointments and geological beauty, a few make me stop in awe. This is one. I'm so grateful for the occasional successes that inspire me to continue, despite difficulties. Interior glaze and dip on the lip assembled from refined materials.
