daves64 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 They did post, yes. Can you post some shots of the ends on the item? Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSarahRox Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 My posts do not seem to be attracting any feedback, have I done something wrong when posting or simply because they warrant none? I will not take anything personal nor will I question the validity of any members opinion. I did have high hopes for the last two I shared but will not give up should they be just rocks. I appreciate any help you can offer. With all that said, it occurred to me recently of how members of this forum must take so much animosity from people who have had a treasure become just a rock in just a few words. I now know the feeling well, but for me it only means one thing...I get to keep looking and more importantly get to keep living. I applaud everyone who has responded to yet another "egg" post with words of encouragement following the words beginners such as myself are not prepared to read, and those willing to impart knowledge and more importantly their time.

Coco Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi, I didn’t answer because I have no idea what it is, I’m not even sure it’s a fossil. But I want to emphasize your good reaction. Sometimes when we start we are in a hurry to get answers, but we are not 24/24 on the forum, we have to wait for more competent people to arrive and see your photos and it can take a few days. To have more answers, good indications of place, age when known, dimensions, views on all sides and numbered photos help. You did all this, so let’s wait. Keep searching and read the TFF forum a lot, you will learn a lot, especially what can be found and in what forms. You’re on your way.

DPS Ammonite Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Welcome to the Forum. Whatever type of fossil it is, it did not preserve great detail. A slightly wild guess would be a stick-like bryozoan. EDIT: Second look; the polygonal structures that look like bryozoans are a little too large 1.5 mm across to be bryozoans. With better formation and age info, a NM local familiar with the area might be able to make a better guess. Are you able to find a good geology map and let us know what formation the rock is from and it’s age? What is this rock, chert? See if a metal knife scratches it. Keep looking; not every fossil can be identified. We all have some. Edited October 13, 2022 by DPS Ammonite 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

ChrisSarahRox Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Did anyone else feel I was whining on my last?, Cause I did. Sheesh. Thank you kindly for responding firstly, when you said it did not preserve in great detail, could you please elaborate on that a bit more? Also I have found many pages on the age of my area because of my proximity to The Gila Cliff Dwellings (which are beyond words to describe BTW) but after reading new member rules and was not clear on posting links or images other than my own. Also thank you Coco for your helpful and kind words. I have been doing so much reading and browsing on this forum and soaking up everything I possibly can .

Randyw Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 In this case I’m with coco. I’m unsure about this. In some pictures it looks like it may be a fossil and in some pictures it looks like it may be geological…. some of our members are on several times a day and some are only on a couple times a week. Sometimes it takes a while for the right member to see a post…. it looks like its about half there. The light part looks like it could be the outer shell with the center being inside or infill. Think of an ice cream cone chopped in half lengthwise… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hi, I was hoping to hear (read, actually) someone telling you what this is, as I have not much of an idea. some resemblance to fulgurites, but I do not think thats what it is. Maybe @Rockwood has an idea Best Regards, J 1 Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Ah ! This one did get photos. It slipped my attention. I would guess silicified, probably metamorphosed, branching tabulate coral. It's similar to what I see in the northern exposure of the Hardwood Mt. formation here in Maine. There isn't enough detail to say for certain though. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
