AlaskaMan Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I found what I think is a geode in a small stream here in Vigo County, Indiana. Brought it home and discovered all these unusual circular patterns along the narrower edges. Looks like urchin but I have not been able to find a similar type online. It does not feel hollow. Has anyone seen a similar surface patter on another specimen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskaMan Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Thank you all for your knowledge. Yes, it is a wonderful example. I think I will try to clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Nice beekite. Although it is caused by geological processes, and not in and of itself a fossil, it can be found in conjunction with fossils.
