godown Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hi Guys mate here in Oz was telling me he has a few dug marbles found during his bottle hunting On the phone it sounded like an Indian but now having seen the pictures im wondering if its a Clambroth but it has that one fat stripe which makes me unsure Any thoughts appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Interesting question. I'd still vote for clambroth but I'd also wait for a second opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I really do not think it fits either type but closer to an Indian in my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I agree with Galen. Looks like a Dianbroth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killermarbles Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 It is similar to both but I would call it a banded opaque. Of course every body that looks at it will say it looks like a clam or a Indian, But it's a banded opaque in my book. Unusual for sure, great find.

lstmmrbls Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I would agree with Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'd go for the banded opaque name also. Unless it's not opaque. Can you see any color ( dark purple, blue, green, etc.) if you put a very strong light behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godown Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hi Ann i did ask him before i posted and he said no light will pass through it Thanks very much for the input to all , and thanks Randy i hadn't considered a banded opaque basically because i'm still learning but now you have mentioned it i've compared it to my 2 banded transparents and yes i think you have nailed it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killermarbles Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Actually I was thinking of changing my mind and calling it a screwed up clam. Now that I have convinced you it's a banded opaque. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godown Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Doh I still think you were right the first time What do you reckon i call this one, i found it under a porch bit beat up with a decent size chip but is the only example i've been able to rustle up in me travels those red spots i first thought may have been paint but are glass in the surface , Has yellow stripes just below the surface and white stripes in the core I would have thought its a Transparent submarine indian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Is there any difference between a transp- Indian and a transp- banded,I know there should be but I can't see it,could someone tell me the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
