Is this a septarian nodule? If not, what else could it be? Found in Germany. 4 centimeters.

Found this today in the Whitby area, either a septarian nodule is playing a cruel, early April fools or it’s some kind of reptile bone. It’s roughly symmetrical with the circle shape on each side. Thanks for looking.

Hola a todos soy nuevo aquí y hace poco encontré esta belleza y agradecería ayudarme a saber más sobre que es. Solo se que se llama nódulo septario pero no tengo idea de que está compuesto ni su valor. Cerca encontré otros de los cuales dejo foto también deseo saber más de ellos. No sé si dentro tenga alguna formación mineral.

On March first, I decided to rent a car and drive south. I'm finishing school in Chicago in May and am preparing to move west, so I really had no time to waste collecting Illinois. I hit three spots - one limestone road cut and one shale road cut in Oglesby, IL and the Mazon pits on the way back up to the city. I'm grateful to a few members for their posts and message replies regarding the road cuts, I couldn't have done this trip without them. I took off at 7 AM towards Oglesby. Here's the map, if you look at Oglesby on Google maps the location here should come together:

Trip to the Eagle Ford, Kamp Ranch in memory of Joe Gallo, aka Fruitbat
KimTexan posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
This post isn't so much about the fossils, but about me honoring the memory of Joe Gallo. It was the day I went out to do that in my own way and say goodbye and find closure for myself. So, if you're all about the fossils you may want to move on to another post. Two weeks ago Saturday I was on call. I had planned to go poking around at a Pleistocene area I had seen the day before NE of where I lived, but I got called into work to work on a kidney transplant. I worked from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. By then it was too late to go to the Pleistocene area since it was over an hour away from w- 20 replies

I found the coolest rock I may have ever found today while out hunting for fossils. I hit the mother load on the fossils, but the rock is absolutely more fascinating at this point. More on the fossils later. I think the rock is a fragment of a septarian nodule that seems to be comprised almost entirely of what I believe may be aragonite and maybe a tiny bit of calcite. I found it in Post Oak Creek practically in the Sherman city limits. The formation in the creek is Alluvium which is Quaternary, Holocene, Cenozoic (in reverse order) I believe. It is surrounded by Austin chalk which i

Hello, first time here. I've been looking around trying to identify this fossil, and it seems that is a septarian nodule, or concretion, or both? I don't know much about fossils, so any information anyone could share would be much appreciated. It is about 2.5-3" across and about 1" thick. It's pretty heavy for its size. It looks like yellowish limestone, but harder, and the veins are gray. Found in Meridian, TX. Would it be worthwhile to have it polished, or just keep as an unusual object? It's pretty small. We do like it
