Recommended Posts

Hello guys.

 

Recently I have posted couple of pictures of possible stromatolites specimen I have found. 

 

I visited the same location today and I have found a couple of more specimens which look like some kind of stromatolites.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

These seem to be inorganic calcium carbonate precipitates: Speleothems - mostly flowstones and the like.

Speleothems (link to wikipedia)

When polished, they can look like that (You have also already cut some):
