Hematite artifact , hematite id help?,meteorite metallic rock id
Callahan posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals
Id on these please. Not a mineral guy. Some metallic iron ore like rocks found while exploring for artifacts in Texas. all are non magnetic and heavy and found near or in archaic Indian sites and one is polished by man with cut marks visible probably due to pigment extraction possibly one of my favorite finds. Could of been used as a club at one time also. Who knows. Other 2 or natural and raw possibly. Rock descriptions 1. First 6 pics are the artifact. Non magnetic and brown streak on ceramic 2. 7 through 10 pics heavy and does brown streak on ceramic 3. last are puzzling to me. Not as heavy but still heavy and metallic like and no streak on ceramic non magnetic any insight into these would be very helpful thanks callahan

These two rocks were found in East Texas, mostly Eocene. Property is on Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer. Dry land in wooded area. I've read some about how hematite is formed so I guess this is normal to see a shell and what I think is matrix? Is the shell a print or a shell? Idea of age? Then there's the tubes in the second rock. Is that what those are? Thanks so much for any help.
