Mark Kmiecik Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Appears to be boxwork or mineral veins. 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...

BUT, more importantly, Welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. You've found the right place to bring such inquiries. And, if you are interested in fossils (and it appears that you are), you have also found a welcoming and supportive group to help you pursue such interests. Again, Welcome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missmissy Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks y'all...the feed back on here actually helped me to figure out it is what is called a Septarian concretions ...I guess it's a common denominator in alot of my geological research but I do also have a good collection of fossils going and many to be delved into...this forum is very helpful...thanks to all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergPono Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Seems that you have a combination of two phenomena here. The first is a ripple bed is a shallow sea; the second are trace fossils (tunnels of bottom living creatures) that were created later (when the ripples were already covered) in the perpendicular direction.

I think @Mark Kmiecik got it right first time. Differential erosion gives the impression of ripples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
