FoxRocks Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hi guys, avid rock hunter here, brought home this “thunder egg” from crater of diamonds in Arkansas a few years ago. I finally got a slab saw and it’s not what I expected! It’s semi transparent in spots and some druzy inclusions. Some areas seem a little oolitic? Could it be an “agatized” fossil of some sort?

Rockwood Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Crater of diamonds and fossils are not a good match at all. It would have to come from a separate layer to be considered as a fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I don't see anything fossiliferous about this either. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
