Fossildude19 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Looks like a flint nodule/pebble. Not seeing a fossil here. 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

IsaacTheFossilMan Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) +1 for flint. Occasionally you can find fossils in flint, but there's nothing geologic here, unfortunately. One thing I like to do with flint is shine a torch through it, they glow because of the silica! Pretty cool stuff Edited August 11, 2021 by IsaacTheFossilMan 1 ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
