What are these Crystallized fossils found in Mountain Home, Tx???
Collinsishome posted a topic in Fossil ID
Alright family, majority of my life as a child I used to be apart of a ranch as a worker than a guide with my brother and father. The name of the Ranch before Mr. Taylor died was the the Double TT Ranch located 5 mile down the road for the YO ranch in mountain home TX, Mr. Taylor was our boss and owner of the ranch and gave us permission to take rocks and shedded antler, one of the benefits of working on the ranch forever. during our time here before the ranch was sold we used to find tons of these Crystallized Rocks at different parts of the ranch I have buckets and buckets of them. now that I'm getting older I started looking for information on what we were picking up. I talked with an individual that graded our crystals and the solidity of them are right under diamond as far as hardness. now after doing research The only thing I can conclude is since we find a lot of sea shells imprinted within our rock is that these used to be highly carbonated humongous tube-worms form the per historic era.. that are now crystallized. I've been told that when the meteor hit that killed the dinosaurs a splash ring of highly heated mass of rock and critters made it this far and are now crystallized from the heat and time.... I have no idea and would like to know if anyone has answers on this matter???? Ive attached a few pick and can send more.- 32 replies
