cyruspup Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hello fellow hunters Many thanks to the responses for my last post which allowed me to ID a fossil rock as Stramatolite and not tule root. I found this marine looking fossil about one month ago in the Golden Shores area of Mohave Valley AZ where marine fossils are abundant. This rock is 6 inches by 4 inches and 1-2 inches thick. It weighs about 1-2 pounds. I cannot find any images online to help ID it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'm not seeing anything fossily about this item - looks like a water worn piece of dolostone or limestone, maybe with some nodules in it? Seems to be geologic in nature, to me.

Miocene_Mason Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The lighter middle nodules I would say stromatolite again, but the layering is absent. For this I'm gonna say a large old concretion with a newer clay concretion attached. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Could it be, the pesky algae ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Chris Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Chert nodules, non fossil.
