Pepper Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I need to pick some brains. I found this at a beach, late cretacous in age in New Zealand. The site is known for belemnites, reptilian bones and fossil wood. I have no idea what this is. It has protruding thin lines spanning out over both ends that have been replaced by calcite or quartz. The lines can be seen along the length of one side and on the other side there seems to be a circle with new protruding thin lines. Could this be pine needles? It's the only thing I can think of? Some parts almost have a woody characteristics, and other parts with fine to medium sand textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 This looks like some sort of mineral veining to me. Not big on geology, however, so that is as far as I can take it.
