ClearLake Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 No, I do not believe it is anything organic. Looks like a piece of microcrystalline quartz (i.e. chert or something similar) to me. What do you see that makes you think it might be soft tissue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikohr Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Hi, welcome to the Fossil Forum! Unfortunately, what you have here appears to be an ordinary rock except in the second to last picture where it appears something small, furry, and also adorable is sniffing the rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Not soft tissue. Soft tissue preservation is quite rare, in terms of fossilization. This is likely a piece of chert or chalcedony. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
