Could this be a fossil or a body fossil? The white powdery mineral sticks to wet fingers and the black rock underneath looks kind of segmented and symmetrical. But lumpy. It looks like it has a stem or neck with a flat bottom. Found in western pa. About 1.25” x .75” fairly heavy, dark and dense mineral underneath about a 5 mohs hardness. I know it’s probably nothing but worth a shot. Thank you!

From an abandoned blue stone quarry in northeast Pennsylvania . This location has produced archaeopteris leaves. This part of the exposure is Shaly sandstone . The thing that caught my eye has a brownish color instead of the gray of the surrounding rock . Surrounding rock all breaks with angular fractures while this looks rounded. It’s a little weird to my eye because it gets wider going up I expect stumps to be widest at the base . Running across the outcrop the layer. With the possible stump is a two or 3 inches thick and is full of woody Fossils, which makes me wonder if this is part of a lateral root system . I can go back and look at the site again tomorrow. Can anyone educate me about specific things to look for ?

I found this petrified tree stump today in very good condition. It weighs approximately 100 lbs, stands 1 foot tall and is 10 inches in diameter. Not sure on what kind of tree it was but it still has the bark. I was curious of how much I could sell this for. I found it near the Frio River and it hasn’t been cut or polished. I did wash the dirt off of it but thats it.
