Fossildude19 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Jim, You do have sharp eyes, my friend. I know nothing about minerals or how they're formed - That being said,... ...Looks brachiopod-ish to me. Neat looking as heck, whatever it is.

tracer Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 :D actually, that makes me wonder if anyone has ever found a fossil giant clam? yes. inoceramids got up to like 4 feet or so, and bore a passing resemblance to your geological oddity.
