I came upon these two things and I can't figure out what they might be.

I found them in the White river formation in SD.

Is it corrall? it almost has a mettalic ring when tapped, and seems alot denser than most things I pick up. Thanks for all the help!

I have seen cherty limestone that looks similar and had a sort of ring to it.

There are big fat veins of silica running filling in cracks all through the White River. Seriously hard stuff.

Thanks for all the help! when I first found it, I had thought it was a piece of ore of some kind, judging by the density and the ring when tapped.
