JustineArt Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Can anyone ID these, please? Again found in Caithness. The textured stuff looks plant-like to me but I'm doubting my eyes and think they could just be really cool looking rocks!? I've Googled things like 'concretions' but I'm still none the wiser. The flat piece with the minerals running along the top fizzes with vinegar so I'm guessing it's calcite with a sparkle of pyrite. It was found beside the textured piece in pic #1 which seems to contain a pink tinted quartz (?) and pyrite? The big piece I'm holding aloft looks so like bark to me but I'm anxious of merely making assumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 These look more like sedimentary structures, to me. Wait for some others input, though. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Brandy Cole Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Looks like some pyrite possibly in there too by the quartz. Very interesting pieces. I don't know anything about your area, so I hate to hazard a guess. But I can see the features that would make you think they could be more than mineral. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
