Sasquatch Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 This was found near Richmond Virginia, just walking through woods. Do you think it could be some sort of trace fossil or mold? There are several almost perfectly spherical spots in it. There aren't really any details in them that I can see though. Pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I would definitely bet on erosion, possibly of an acid etching kind. But there is a small possibility that it is a bunch or bivalve bore holes. The context would make me think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 It looks like a slag "clinker" (big cinder) to me.
