Fossildude19 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Another concretion, I'm afraid.

tmaier Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Looks like a nodule of quartzite that tried to become a geode, but failed. :) It's not a fossil of anothing. It was formed by precipitation of minerals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reichertcarving Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Oh well. I guess concretions will be the biggest part of my collection. There are a lot of interesting ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I think this is an agate not a concretion. It has the texture and fracture of a cryptocrystalline quartz and I think there is some faint banding in picture 3 (common for agate). Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
