Hi guys, avid rock hunter here, brought home this “thunder egg” from crater of diamonds in Arkansas a few years ago. I finally got a slab saw and it’s not what I expected! It’s semi transparent in spots and some druzy inclusions. Some areas seem a little oolitic? Could it be an “agatized” fossil of some sort?

Hunting for diamonds looking for something along the way
hobbitfeet posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
In a month, I will be traveling to the Crater of Diamonds. For some reason, my mom has a new obsession with finding a diamond. But I'm hoping to find some fossils around there or along the way in Arkansas, Missouri or even Eastern Oklahoma. We will be traveling from the St. Louis area, probably taking Interstate 30. I've already scoured this website and Google for hours and I still haven't found any solid leads. I'm a member of the Eastern Missouri Society of Paleontology (EMSP) and they weren't any help. I'm also interested in any good rock shops or fee mining places around (except quartz). Any help would greatly appreciated. PM me if you don't wish to have your locations exposed to the public.- 3 replies
