  • Fossildude19 changed the title to I want to know what kind of fossil I have.

Cropped, enlarged, and brightened.

Looks like a chert nodule to me.  :unsure:

I see no fossil.

 

 

Me parece un nódulo de pedernal. No veo ningún fósil.

It is worth adding a few drops of vinegar to check for the presence of a carbonate (if it bubbles).  This might be travertine, i.e., a sort of limestone that is deposited around springs.  It does not look like a fossil.

I also think this is some kind of calcitic speleothem.
