Benterataspis Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hello everyone! Got a bit of a dilemma on my hands. About a year ago me and my family went to the coast just for fun. Whilst on the beach I found several clam fossils and agates. I came across a bit of strange material, to me it looks like some type of either agatized wood or opalized wood. To be honest I dont know that much about replacement fossils (if they are fossils at all! )If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!

Rob Russell Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I looks like coral still covered with some matrix to me. I would have no idea the exact genus. Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdevey Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 The photos are big but great detail. I think the first one is pet wood. The second.. I've seen quartz that looks a lot like that, coming out of the sw oregon coast range. Are they from the Brookings area in Oregon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
