Could they be dried up pulverized hackberry seeds? I noticed a bunch of white calcium looking gravel in the bottom of a metal rain-water trough, yesterday, that I drained. Sounds similar. Perhaps washed in from the surface? Sent cellularly. -Don On Feb 13, 2012, at 11:59 AM, Andy Gluesenkamp

Calcite sand in Honey Creek is usually deposited due to turbulence related to both normal and flooding conditions. Kurt described deposition common to normal conditions: . Dripping water sinks floating calcite rafts; . Rafts accumulate on the upstream side of dams, where as

The degree to which the sand accumulates or is noticed at any given time depends mostly on: · How much time has passed since the last flood, which determines how many rafts will accumulate floating on the water; · How severe the flood was, and did it just sink the floating
