Mamajenn Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 My son and I found this in Milton Ma at the Blue hills reservation. Does anyone have any idea what it is? Thanks for any help! Jenn and Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I have no knowledge of the areas geology, but looks like a weathering pattern to me “...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...

ynot Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Welcome to TFF! I think it is a weathered mineral vein. There is a possibility that it could be a very poorly preserved crinoid stem, But I think You are in the wrong geologic setting for a crinoid. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Its pattern is very irregular, so i would say the same thing than the others.
