I found both these while digging at work and was wondering if they were some kind of fossil? 65276861035__1A586962-63E7-4FAA-BC95-9F45D54C3B79.MOV 65276856659__F9496067-45FD-469A-A586-BBA4DDA52101.MOV 65276856659__F9496067-45FD-469A-A586-BBA4DDA52101.MOV

How to clean this sandstone(?) out of these cool rocks I found
rock finder posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals
I'm not entirely sure what kind of rocks these are but I found them in a creek in central Ohio. The dark colored rocks form thin wafers with lots of undulations and connections to other wafers, and then appear to get filled in with some kind of ... maybe sandstone? I don't know. If you apply a bunch of pressure and friction to the tan filler rock it will gradually crumble away, but I'm wondering if there's any faster/easier way to remove it from the larger of these two rocks so I can see the darker rock's features and crevices better. I read online that DMSO can help disintegrate sandstone, although I'm not sure if it would do any damage to the darker bands of rock since I'm not sure what those are. I'd appreciate any information or insights you could provide! -
Need help making an ID as to what I’ve found on the beach!
HaidaGwaiiBeachFinds posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello All, I’m a newbie to this forum, subsequently solving my many fossil and rock mysteries. This one has me stumped. Surely it cannot be a fossil inside? Does that even happen? Also, it’s more defined than any other agate I’ve seen here (Haida Gwaii). Gosh, I sure hope this is an agate (please prove me wrong, if I’m wrong)! Thanks a mil. -
Found this piece which looks pretty real to me. The seller says this is from Morocco, but he never mentions the genus or species. I kinda have a double question. Do this two trilos look restored? And if not, is there any way to ID them? To me they kinda look like Elredgeops. First trilo is about 2 inches and the rolled one is 1 inch.
