Caroboneferous Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I found this piece outside Kansas City, it was nearby some sea fossils. I’m not sure if this is anything. Any ideas would be helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And geodes like that can be from former fossils. This rock is clearly a dolomite or something similar ruining fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Well I'll take the middle ground then. I agree that there were most certainly carbonate remains involved, but recognizable fossils may be a bit strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we have to be careful with words - fossils do exist in this rock but in an unidentified form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I agree with you, I don’t really understand the geology involved, but there was a bunch of carbonized material that is now probably unrecognizable, which is a shame. I found a collection of rocks with similar inclusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
