Paton Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hi All, I am new here but have a couple photos of recent finds and would appreciate any thoughts on what they are. These are about two inches long and were found on a decorative limestone slab near a neighbor's pool in Woodside, CA. The limestone was sourced locally. Thanks!

Myrmica Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 My thought is that these are poorly formed concretions. It looks like iron oxide has been deposited around some (no longer visible) nucleus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paton Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Thanks, so would these concretions represent a previously present animal of some kind converted to a trace fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrmica Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I agree, These are geological in origin, not fossil-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
