Fossilian Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I found this long finger like rock while hiking in NJ can anyone help determine what it is? Around 1.5-2 inches Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fool people often because of their suggestive shapes. You will be fooled many more times, after a while you will ignore them. Thanks, just a bit disappointed that I didn't have something.

I have never heard of that being the case for your locale but I quess it doesn't hurt to try. 2 minutes ago, Darktooth said: Some concretions and nodules contain fossils.

Talk to anyone who has hunted there and chances are they will tell you the same. Yea, looks like I fell for the trick too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
