FuzzyPhoton Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So I can't remember when exactly I picked this up but I am sure it comes from a local stream in southern New Jersey. I am not sure if this is even a fossil or if it is something else but it looked unique enough to ask about. The lighter spots are where I experimentally scratched at the rock but the patterned bit on the end is what I am curious about. For all I know it is just an impression fooling my brain. What ever your conclusion could you explain to me why you reached it so that I don't make the same mistake twice ? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 looks like a paleozoic chert pebble with a trilobite pygidium in it. These things are part of the sediment eroded out of the appalachian uplands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyPhoton Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Awesome! Thanks guys, I had just been wandering in a creek looking for fossilized shark teeth and pulled this up by chance. Now I can't wait for warmer weather to get back out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
