Muffinsaurus Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Found in a creek in Floyd County Kentucky. Area is Pennsylvanian (according to the university of Kentucky website the area may also have a very small mix of Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary). I'm wondering if this is a fossil, like an impression of a seed or something, or if this is just a weird rock. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 This reminds me of the concretions in my area, that can sometimes have a soft, clay-like center that can wash away. I think the lines may be an imprint of something (shell, maybe?) on the concretion itself. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

However I never thought about a concretion with a soft center. In fact I have been finding loads of hollow rocks after all the flooding. So with this info I wonder if these concretions have been washed out of the hills, cracked open and cleaned out by the flooding Thanks again!
