Rodney Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Nickel size fossil rock removed from a dried up river bed southern Ga. USA. Any ideas what the circular patterns are? Picture taken with a stereo microscope aprox. 30x. Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsfly Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 A picture of the whole spaceman would be helpful...what other fossils have you found there? Pics of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Until I enlarged the picture (good one, incidentally!), I thought they might be beekite rings, but none of them are concentric, so I doubt it.

Rockwood Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Have you considered coccoliths ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I took a look at coccoliths, certainly possible. Thanks,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodney Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 This area in southern Ga. would certainly be paleogene. I have a few more of these and I may post them at a later date. Thank you. Rodney,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Even though the microscoptic picture shows some good details I can provide a slightly better picture than this one. Most all of my fossils are in a display case with a little glue to the back side of the matrix. I had this one out last year before mount when I took the picture. If another picture is needed for identification I will be glad to provide that a little later. Rodney,, Ga. USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
