victorio211 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hello everyone, I just joined today so "hello"! Here is something I picked up today shopping at a open air rock shop. It was in a non descript pile so I can't even tell you where it might have originally came from. Maybe it is just an interesting rock, but I guess thats why I bought it! Here are a few pictures, hope they help. There are small knobs on the top that seem rather regular and the rest of it is smooth compared to the bottom which is very rough. It is about 6in long and approx 4in at its widest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Welcome! I agree, it looks like a tree root.
