Kane Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Looks like it is just mineral staining to me. The colour is quite vibrant! ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbuckeye Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 In the first picture, there appears to be a vague spiral pattern to the lower 2/3rds of the specimen in question. Could this be a very weathered Maclurite embedded in matrix??? Similar to this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to this: I don't think so - the spiral pattern looks to be only on the surface, indicating to me that it is mineral staining only.

Maclurites spiral on one side only so stream worn ones can sometimes be a bit confusing when looking at the back side, expecting a corresponding symmetrical spiral.
