Coco Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi, If you want identification, measurements, a more accurate location than the state and closer photos could help. I can’t say anything specific with what you’re presenting, other than it seems more geological than paleontological.

Daisbea Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 It was in college park, and here are more pictures. Unfortunately that’s all I can give. From what it looks like I think it’s an ironstone concretions, but another person said it could be a blastoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I doubt it. The texture seems too layered, as if an iron rich pocket/layer served to feed a concretionary front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 33 minutes ago, Daisbea said: Original thought that it’s a fossil or concretions? Concretion. Concretion as a process occurs after sediment has been deposited. Soluble or mobile minerals typically are transported by ground water and deposited often in layers which are roughly concentric to the mineral source. It might not be the best explanation, but that's my thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
