Found in Dahlonega, Georgia. Original origin (if different) unknown. Before I realized it was a fossil, I had aggressively scrubbed the stone with a denture brush in hopes of cleaning off the deep dirt stains. It worked, but I'm not sure if it damaged it at all. It doesn't look noticeably damaged, if it is, but I figured I'd bring it up. This rock is *most likely?* limestone & quartz but I'm not terribly confident in that answer. Any help GREATLY appreciated!! The fossil appears to be a mix of star shaped and column shaped indents, with what appear to be shells as well. There may be more (as there are a lot of similar indents that look more like closely packed dots) but I'm not sure. P.S.: If anyone has tips to safely remove the iron stains, let me know! I'd rather preserve the fossil than remove the iron, but I figured I might ask.

Hey all. I found these pieces in some road fill in White Sulphur Springs, WV. The driver who brought in the fill said it came from a local creek, but I have yet to track down the source. I've only found a handful of pieces of this material. I think it might be quartzite. It is very friable. There are some crinoids and brachiopods in the matrix. I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on what these long fossils are. The scale is in inches. Thanks for looking
