Fingers crossed, I think there's a real fossil in this mess! I accidentally chipped the part I think is a fossil, bone or shell maybe, with my tile nippers trying to chip away the bigger rocks in the conglomerate-- the nippers are for sherd crafts ONLY from now on! However, the pattern of lines in the part in question is as it was when I found it in the lower canal along the Delaware river near Pt. Pleasant, PA. My husband, King of Pareidolia, thinks it's a turtle. I'm not going to see things I can't hypothesize on, I'm here instead.

Please help me ID this component of a conglomerate block found in Romania, Harghita county. Compared to the rest of pebbles and matrix, it is outstanding in every way: size, shape, internal structure. There is no reaction to vinegar and all considered, I would say it is a piece of chalcedony. Did the silica replaced wood, bone or not a fossil? Thank you! Diameter is ~45 mm, lenght ~90mm.

Found these two rocks earlier in Big Creek by my place in Iron Co. MO. they look as though they are made up almost entirely of tiny plant & animal fossils. Each rock is about 6"x4"x2".

Show us your reworked fossils or fossil-bearing breccia/conglomerate
FranzBernhard posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I am starting this topic because of this one: Would you like to show off your examples of reworked fossils still located in younger matrix or conglomerate/breccia with fossil-bearing clasts. I am quite eager to see some nice examples. I have only one, most of you may already know this : One of the clasts contains Eifelian corals. Thanks you very much!! Franz Bernhard -
Any ideas as to what this might be? Thinking could be wood remnants, maybe petrified or partially so? Northwest PA, lots of glacial debris in area.

In some sandstone caves on my property there are layers of conglomerate stones laid into otherwise fine Hawkesbury sandstone. In amongst these there are hollow egg shape structures, some broken off but one in particular in intact but with a hole in it showing that it is hollow. They are all embedded in the ceiling of the cave. the one featured is about 4 inches long. Can some one tell me what they are likely to be?

Here's one of my "works". Again, found this when I was about 12 yrs old and painstakingly picked it clean with dental tools and thought it might be some sort of root system. Now, I wonder if its just a conglomerate? Thoughts on this as well appreciated! Though it looks like the "grey" roots are depressions, they are rounded, raised areas. I'll try taking some more outside. Maybe not even a fossil? Stay healthy! thanks! Bone

When I first looked at this rock I thought it was a bit of concrete, but once I cleaned it up and looked at it with my macro lens I discovered a very different world. I am used to seeing fossiliferous limestone, but the fact that this rock has some completely smooth sides baffles me. Is it just another example of the wonders of limestone? See next post for the size. Found in Huntsville, Alabama. Thanks! Ramona

I am risking the possibility of a huge embarrassment here, but I am wondering about this large rock. I at first assumed that it was a large chunk of concrete but then I started looking more closely. It is located in a creek bed with no other concrete around it. We have a massive amount of fossilifferous (sp?) limestone rocks in our yard, so I began reevaluating this one... I am not able to climb down to look at it closely, so this photo will have to suffice. Is this actually a chunk of concrete or is it a conglomerate rock with fossils in it? If it is concrete I will put my tail between my legs and slink off into the far distance. We live in Huntsville, AL. Thanks! Ramona

From the album: Angelica's
My boyfriend found this in a river/creek bed in Lassen National Forest in northern California. Other than that, I know very little about it. I've posted in the ID section asking for more information (http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/61172-fossilized-seashell-lassen-national-forest/#entry652184)--any information is welcome!-
