Johopa Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hi guys, I recently started learning to fossil hunt for my son as he loves dinosaurs and on our first trip we found this in a limestone. I am completely new and really sorry if this borders on an insult to some of your experience but I have no idea whether to crack the rock open and have a look or whether I’d end up breaking a fossil of some kind if I did or whether it is just a mineral running through of some sort! There was a much larger rock with the same streaks but in a diamond shape on the beach so if it is a fossil I’ll be running back there ASAP Thank you in advance (I’ll thank again afterwards too!) and I’m glad to have found a community on here to help further my knowledge!

Myrmica Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hello Johopa, Welcome. It is difficult to tell from this photo but we may be seeing bivalve (i.e., clams and relatives) shells in cross section? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johopa Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Thank you very much for the response myrmica I may crack this open and if it’s something then I’ll know the much larger one would be worth opening! I’ll post on here once it’s opened just in case you’re curious! Once again thank you very much for the response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
