April Discussion Thread

Of course not the yellow, but we can't completely rule out the first outcome. I'll be happy to see what he turns into, but for now I'm waiting for the final star dog outcome to grow.

No, I meant the first outcome is definitely not marble. The second outcome actually has a chance of being marble based on its coloring. What the common person considers marble can be a very wide variety of colors. But the second one is definitely not marble. The marking on it are too distinct for that, as marble doesn't have that.

Sandstone for the pony? It could be.

There technically marbles out there with uniform lines in them. It's not impossible.

Yes, but that's clearly in the shape of a shell. The only dispute about it would be whether it's a fossil or an actual shell. Sandstone may be possible for it, as that's a common rock to find fossils in. Which means it could also be a variety of other rocks like limestone, shale, etc.

[DemonChild]

But we don't even know what the litter is based off of. Jumping to conclusions has never worked out in the past...

[Dr.Who]

I agree with Demon. I personally see neither, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions so early.

[FlutterDash]

Now, I'm not saying I think the ponies are beach-based, but I dug around in my shell basket anyway, and took a snap:



vs



Not a perfect match by any means, but similar. They could be based on the beach and/or shells?

Ohhhhhh I thought they were some type of fossil. They are the Shell Litter.

I know we don't and I'm not jumping to conclusions. I'm saying that based on the design and markings of the first outcome, it can't be marble. You wouldn't find fossils like that or even a design like that in marble. I'm also not saying that it is for sure ammonite and I wouldn't be surprised if it's not. I would be surprised, however, if it wasn't something similar. Here's a picture of ammonite fossils to compare to the pony:



See how similar those are? o_o

Yes yes, we get it. You think it is a fossil. I think the point being made is that it could be anything still. CS doesn't have to make it be a fossil. They could have just chosen to make a swirly design. Seeing as the yellow pony is turning out to be quite the curious outcome, no one can be sure.

[ElijahWilkes]

I didn't say CS had to make it be a fossil. <.< And I even said I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. =/ My point is that it can't be marble, which is obviously the idea the person was trying to force on me. I know my rocks and that is not based off of marble. That was the only point I was trying to make, not that it absolutely has to be a fossil. <.<
