lukasmik Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hello.I'm from Slovakia and yesterday I found a strange looking stone which has something fossilized in it. I am no expert on this matter so I ask you for advice. As far as I can tell it's some kind of Tertiary limestone but I'm not entirely sure what that thing in it is. Please help me identify it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Well, as far as I can tell ( I'm not saying its not) I don't think so. I may be wrong, but it looks more like some kind of irony substance? The rock looks like limestone with is often good for fossils. Good luck. Izak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukasmik Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 I also thought it's iron due to the fact that the place I visited has never produced any fossils whatsoever. Yet I'm still wondering what kind of iron thing it might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I don't know what could be,but for me don't looks like coral.Probably the slab contains some limonitic feature.

Auspex Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It could have started out as organic remains (it shows no evidence as to what), but it looks like pyrite to me.
