MartianColony Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I know this is probably nothing, and sorry for being a noob; but is this a fossil? It's just that the lines caught my eye. Thank you to all who reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm inclined to think it is geologic in nature - looks like agate or chert. Maybe @ynot can have a look.

Darktooth Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 You don't have to say sorry for being a noob. Everybody starts out as one! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to pick up an item, and ask if it's something, than bypass it, and find out later is was something!

ynot Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I agree that it looks like agate. All three pictures are of the same side, can You post pictures of the other side ans edges? Tony PS I agree with the others about "noobies". Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Here are some pictures of the other side, also thank you all for being so nice. I don't think that there are any mean people here. Certainly not your average internet forum.

ynot Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Definitely an agate. The last picture makes it look hollow. If it is and You clean out that area there may be some little quartz crystals in there. Sorry it is not a fossil. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
