Hi there, This is my first forum post, I'm UK based in the South West. About 6 months to a year ago I visited Charmouth in Dorset and ended up coming home with this particular rock. I've always wondered if the structures breaking the surface were fossils or instead natural geological features. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Forum, i'd like to know what is or what caused this striped part of this rock and the little dotted part on the top. I collected it in the Omhden quarry (Germany, next to Holzmaden) the length of the striped part is about 5cm while the max length of the rock is 17cm Thanks a lot Paolo

Hello there everyone! I found this in North Myrtle Beach, any ideas as to what it is? It's got some porous parts which make me think bone but I have no clue. Thanks in advance for any information!

Small Red Inclusions in Rock Found in Southern New Hampshire
Golfer posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals
Found this rock in southern New Hampshire in a large dirt pile dug near bed rock. On former farm land on edge of forest with game trails and creeks. I looked up that garnets can be found in this location. Not sure what they are. What is the mechanism of these red inclusions forming in this rock? Thank you for your answers on my other topics of other rocks and stones found in the same location.- 10 replies

Was very curious as to how this one came to look as it does. Any help is appreciated. Some of the photos are before and after a good cleaning.

Greetings all. In the spirit of tricks and treats today, I figured I'd post a slightly disingenuous ID question. Or maybe someone will surprise me and tell me that it actually is a fossil, rather than a "rossil". I'm not holding my breath. I was camping at Jalama last week, when it was pushing 90 degrees on the beach. It was a pleasant couple of days but the weather made it less so than one would expect. I did end up breaking up a few cleavable pieces that came from a fresh fall at the back of the closest cliff to the South side of the campground, but found nothing. And it was too darn hot, and my old back was protesting the whole thing, so I gave up on breaking rocks in pursuit of Jalama's famous "exploded fish" (That was for you, Doren. RIP, buddy.). Instead I just took a little walk on the sand with my partner. Aside from the joy of the Jalama beach hopscotch, i.e. skipping around and over gobs of tar seeps, we were just looking for interesting rocks, shells, etc. One thing I found was a thing I'll call a "Rossil". (I'd be surprised if the term hasn't been used before.), I'm 99.99% sure that it is indeed a "Rossil". I just don't know what it's from. Anyway, it sure looks a lot like a vert, perhaps caudal, but it is very flat on one side. Of course that could be from the absolute geological crushing it has been taking through eons as it "rossilized". So, what do the experts think of my rossil? Keep it friendly, folks. Happy Halloween, all.

Hi, I am new to the site. I have had this rock for 50 years. I would love to know what it is and how it was made. I don't remember much about the details on getting it. The kid I got it from lived in Virginia. I always thought it was a petrified egg. Some of the people I shown it to say it was just a stone in flowing water for a long time. A tool for native Americans to make paint, or a heating stone for native Americans to heat water. I have had it x-rayed, with no results. I would really appreciate anyone who can tell me about it or where I can get it tested without destroying it. The surface is porous looking not smooth.

Which type of coral is this? (And how old it is if possible to answer?)
