This is a large plate (23" X 23") from the Hell Creek Formation, showing nice ripple marks, some viney Equisetum-like vegetation, and several 4 1/2" wide bird tracks:

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

I find small parts of ripples occasionally in the Francis Creek Shale/Sandstone in which the Mazon Creek concretions are embedded. I think they are neat because they show the coal forest being inundated by the oceans.

I'll see if I can photograph one.

I did inventory in a wrecking yard many years. I found this & several other interesting rocks in the bed of a wrecked pickup. The truck was used in the oil fields in the Paso Robles, CA, area. Sorry I can't get more specific!.

The rock itself is very heavy for its size. It is ferrous as a rare earth magnet (VERY powerful) will stick to it just enough so that it doesn't slide off but the magnet will not pick the rock up.

I was at a Mazon Creek (Illinois) coal mine pile today and picked up some ripple marks in the Francis Creek shale.

Chanute Formation, Pennsylvanian

Kansas City metro

These ripples were caused by wave action.

Context is critical.
