Fossil Algae, Microbial Mat Or Something?

Recommended Posts

This was found in the Sardis formation last year. Late Cretaceous. It was looked at by one geology professor who said he didn't really know what it was, but thought it was agatized. Perhaps fossil Algae or something of the like? This is the condition i found it in...maybe a Native had found it before me and sampled the material, or maybe freeze-thaw cycles made it break, i don't know.

Well he right, it definitely is agatized. Other then that i don't know. It could have been something recognizable at one time before agatizing....
