I believe my last post got moved from the Fossil ID discussion to this one, as is appropriate. I honestly had forgotten about some of the other discussion categories and will remember to post topics in the right place. This piece is another that has me having to ask. It's almost chalky but no powdery residue is left on my fingers what I handle it. It's sort of silky feeling and quite hard. It's very heavy for It's size, as well. Not as heavy as the magnetite of the same size that I compared it with, but heavier than expected. The rust color is from something nearby or in the sand at the bottom of the lake, several other pieces I picked up in the same spot had discoloration from iron. I say bottom of the lake just because the water is so low, I wasn't scuba diving in our local pond. What should I do to figure out what it is? The usual--burn, scratch, etc? Have fire, will travel! K

Over the next few days I'll be moving from Tulsa, OK to Williston, ND for my job. My approximate route will be taking me through Oakley, KS; Rapid City, SD; and finally Williston, ND. On my way, I was hoping to make a stop in the Niobrara chalk near Oakley and then make a visit to Mount Rushmore in Rapid city, but other than that, I haven't thought of any other good stops. So, if anyone has any good suggestions for stops ( for fossiling or otherwise) or advice on hunting the chalk, your input is greatly appreciated. I'll be trying to post the pictures from my trip on here as I go, but they will get on here eventually. Thanks again everyone, -Peter
