Brondonh Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I found these in a large pile of dirt in a new housing development in Venice FL. I'm assuming they are calcite, but was wondering what type and what they are growing, incapacitated in. I found a lot of them and attaching 3 examples. They are holding yellow and growing on a charcoal, bulbuls rock. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Looks like botryoidal calcite. See if it fizzes slightly when vinegar is applied to rule out botryoidal chalcedony etc. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpa Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Appear to be broken septarian nodules; very nice coloration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not a septarian and not a fossil. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
