himmelangst Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Could this be a fossil or a body fossil? The white powdery mineral sticks to wet fingers and the black rock underneath looks kind of segmented and symmetrical. But lumpy. It looks like it has a stem or neck with a flat bottom. Found in western pa. About 1.25” x .75” fairly heavy, dark and dense mineral underneath about a 5 mohs hardness. I know it’s probably nothing but worth a shot. Thank you!

Rockwood Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'd like to call it an arthropod, something like a crab or lobster in concretion. I have to agree that it isn't at all clear however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 You are right. IMHO it's nothing. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
