In my favorite creek with water levels so low there is a facinating little stretch exposed that is unlike any other part of the creek I've seen. There's about 100 ft of this grey marl in lower bank going into water, it's gritty, some still soft some like cement, loaded with gastropods, bivalves, and coalified wood. Running through it are the biggest calcite veins I've ever seen, some 10-15 ft long and almost pink, have no idea how far down they go. I was barely able to break a section off, this is part of one the smaller veins. Wondering if anyone has seen something similar. The other odd part is above that, there is a layer about 3ft deep of what I call cobblestone clay, it's hues of yellow and orange layered and rounded easily falls apart. Found shark teeth in it but I've never seen anything like it in Eagle Ford. Is there an association between the layers or do they even belong together?

Hi there. I was hoping to pick some smart brains. I found this fossil rock today in North Georgia. Near Cartersville, in Bartow County. There seems to be fossils on both the front and back side of the rock. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking a look.
