sharko69 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Any ideas what these are? they look like jelly beans and are probably geologic but I have run across three of them as I shave searched through micro matrix from the eagle ford of both Texas. They are approximately 5mm. Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNCollector Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Are they perhaps some kind of seed (modern)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I agree with modern seeds. I find identical ones here in North Carolina in matrix that I pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharko69 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 They are heard as rocks and sink immediately. I will break break one open and see what it looks like. I would also think that if it was a seed, it was sitting in a bucket with wet matrix for over a week and never sprouted or softened up??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hard seeds. Some need to be scarified (water-tumbled or passed through a digestive tract) before they can be hydrated.
