TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I found this rock in Lake Michigan near traverse city. It looked curious, is it a fossil? Glacial scarring? What made the bands? Link to post Share on other sites
MrR Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Possibly something called: Chlorastrolite (greenstone)? Scroll down the page a bit. Have the stones Link to post Share on other sites

TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 If this was chlorastrolite i'd be quite happy with it, however it doesn't have any green pigment and the pattern isn't as "boxy" Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Kmiecik Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I've been looking at it since you posted it and have done a bit of searching but came up with nothing so far. I do get an organic vibe from it, but we all know how quickly that can change with good supporting evidence. I'm thinking it's a bryozoan, but am not finding a good match. I'd like to see photos of the edges and the other side if possible. Link to post Share on other sites
Shamalama Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Looks like a partially dolomitized limestone, or maybe limestone with chert bands? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Kmiecik Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Definitely not glacial scarring. Glacial scarring would disappear when a surface is polished, which this has been by sand and water. Still haven't found anything similar. Link to post Share on other sites
