gravelgrazer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi, I found this years ago while rockhounding in Central Oregon. It's agate & some chalcedony. It also has some beautiful black dendrites. Is it some type of coral? Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Neat find. I don't think this is organic. It appears more like bubbles or air pockets. I don't see coral. But that's just me. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Looks like the typically shaped spharolites that occur when agates are built in this milieu. Not coral in my opinion. Very nice at any rate.

howard_l Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 What popped into my head when I first looked at it is barite (white balls, circles) followed by a second mineralization later by quartz.
