BudB Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) I visited a new creek in Hill County Tuesday. This is an Eagle Ford area. As often happens with a new site, I didn't find any of the fossils I was hoping for, and won't likely go back to this creek. I did find this strange looking piece, though. I'm thinking it has to be a septarian nodule, though it looks completely unlike any septarian nodules I've found or seen online. Am I identifying this correctly? Here are three views of it. The morning shadows are a bit harsh, and I probably should have found a more contrasting background than my driveway in the last two photos, but here it is, in all its strangeness, complete with a loose rock still captured in one of the holes.

Fossildude19 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I agree, this looks like the remains of a septarian nodule. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

abyssunder Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'm not sure if it is related to spetarian nodules/concretions. Somehow, may be close to Boxwork, but it looks too spongy for that.
