images of amoeba on rock?


Mojave fossils

Recommended Posts


Several clear images of different shapes on a rock that is about 1 inch in diameter. Found exploring on oustkirts of Las Vegas, NV. Are those images Amoebas? Cretaceous Period? I'm new here, so I hope I did this post correctly. 
Thanks for any input!

You photos are much too blurry to be able to make out any details, but for your information, amoeba are one celled creatures which cannot be seen with naked eye, so I'm sorry to disappoint you in saying that these cannot possibly be amoeba.

Welcome to the Forum. :)

These remind me of oncolites.

 Coincidentally, I came across a youtube video of trilobite collecting in the Mojave, yesterday. :) 

 

 

BTW, please refrain from using all capital letters. It is the equivalent of shouting or screaming on the internet. ;)

I also agree that Oncolites would be a good identification of your find. Being a weathered rock some detail is seen and some lost. A polished cross section would tell a lot.

No amoeba as Ludwigia already stated.

Maybe reef-debris or oncolite, depends on what the better pics will tell...

Looks like reef-debris imho (fragments of corals, molluscs etc).

I do not see the concentric "shale-shape" nor the "center" in the middle what is typical for oncolites....
