1/2 Douglas Pass Colorado mystery

Recommended Posts

This was found in Douglas Pass Colorado years ago. I’m not sure if it’s coral or a sponge or nothing. Thoughts ?

I thought the Douglas Pass was a fresh water environment?  :headscratch:

In which case, this would not be a fossil. Not really seeing anything definitive here.

 

So, Douglas Pass is Eocene, Green River Formation. Definitely fresh water environment.

I suppose this could be some sort of sedimentary structure, or evaporite of some sort, but I do not see anything fossil related here.
