Tony G. Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Fossils from the red sandstone layer in the North Sulphur River. Ladonia, Texas. Does anyone know why the fossils in this layer are black, or what mineral it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm told they are black because of phosphate replacement. I love the way the white sutures show so plainly on the Baculites when they are black instead of red. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Very nice. I agree with BobWill, those Baculites are fantastic looking with the white suture lines.
