Twinlukers Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hello I can't find this in my shimer and shrock fossil index of North America. I have two pieces one really shows the cones and the other not so much so I'm showing you two pictures Front and back view. Please I need some help. The owner of the Quartz mine where we found this said it is conines. I'm not sure because the spelling is not right. I know it's not a crinoids. Please help me fellow Collectors.

Fossildude19 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The one on the right looks like Cone in Cone structures.

Raggedy Man Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I thinks it's geological. The left photo looks like agate. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinlukers Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Here is the original photo I took. I cropped it do you could all see the cones. But how come I can not find it in my fossil directory? Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I agree!Cone in Cone structures.Looks like some horn corals but they are not. Here is an example: http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/sedimentary/images/cone.html " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Auspex Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 ...But how come I can not find it in my fossil directory? It is not in most fossil guides because it is not a fossil; it is a geologic structure. I think introductory fossil books should include as many pseudofossils as fossils.

Twinlukers Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nice!!! It was found next to an outcrop of grey shale. We found one nice slab and the other that really shows the cones. The land owner said he found some trilobites in the area a couple of Years ago but another rock hound took them from the stream That goes they his property. We didn't see any. But we came away With some quality crystals. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
