My daughter found this only partially embedded in the ground on the built part of a man made pond. It had grass growing around it. It is approx. 10" long and 4 1/2" tall. Anyone have any ideas? Is it just sediment of some kind?

Welcome to the forum. Interesting rock,it looks to me to be more mineral based than a fossil but I could be wrong. And then sometimes you get 2_4_1.

Hi Scott,

Welcome to our Fossil Forum. I can't be certain, but it looks like the cross section of a Septarian nodule. These can occur in many ages of Shale.

If I am right, it would be secondary minerals from sedimentary rock formation.

Thanks guys. After searching the Septarian Nodule, I can see the similarities. I want to post more pics - maybe tomorrow. I sure appreciate all of the help. This seems to be a great site.

I agree that it is an ironstone concretion with septarian features.
