Ludwigia Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think that we're looking at some kind of mineral infill in chert. Perhaps quartz. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Agreed. It would like us to think it's a crinoid stem, but I don't think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there is a quartz vein in the middle..if you can gently separate the two pieces...can reveal crystals. Still up the owner as maybe they just want a chunk of the stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadiasforest Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Thank you! It's Def not a crinoid. That's one of the ones I can actually identify. Haha it's different in person. Rocks are hard to photograph. They never do them justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be the best way to see them. I know what you mean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
