gznette Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Found by a friend in a creek near KC, Kansas. Never seen anything like this. Also, I'm new to all of this so I don't have the slightest clue what I'm looking at... Is it even real???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It appears to be a type of concretion called a septarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I agree. It's a septarian nodule, aka "turtle stone". link to source " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

MeargleSchmeargl Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Another vote septarian. Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
