DWK Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I keep finding samples of this rock - which I believe is quartzite because it's hard and crystaline (always fractures along facets) My guess is that the rock was sedimentary to begin with. Many samples I find have back spherical things in them about 1 cm in size. There is some small indication of radial spikes and some appear to have a halo around the perimeter. If they are fossils and not simply geological they might be Ediacaran. These are being found along the shore of the British Columbia mainland north of Vancouver.IMG_0968.CR2 of British Columbia mainland just north of Vancouver, B.C.

Fossildude19 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 This looks more geologic in origin to me, rather than biological/fossil related. 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FranzBernhard Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Looks like the igneous rock aplite with spherical accumulations of dark minerals (tourmaline?). Not a fossil. Link to something somewhat similar: Aplite (link to "Virtual Microskope"). Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
