Wrangellian Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Wow! Any idea what formation it came out of? It might help to know that, for getting it identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diverboone Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 I believe St. Louis, if not then Fort Payne. I’m not a geologist. I’m just someone who packs too many rocks home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also curious about this one in the background. It seems similar to the object in question. 4 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you focus in on one of the individual elements ? It may be a mold of a large colonial rugose coral colony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diverboone Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Rugose coral is what I have always thought it was. I have quite a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
