Kane Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Looks like a concretion of some sort. Best to take a picture with something more precise to indicate scale, such as a ruler or tape measure. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Using a U.S. penny for scale helps all of us in the U.S. and even some of our Canadian members to "size" something. However we have members in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and other places in the world. They have no idea of the size of a U.S. penny. Using a rule of some type is best, preferably metric (millimeters or centimeters) as that is the world standard. As far as you find, I agree with Kane that it is a concretion of some type.

abyssunder Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It could be very well an ironstone concretion. It is really hard to find an exact match, but you can see similar patters. comparative picture from here " 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.

Max-fossils Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Definitely an iron concretion. I stumble accross similar ones often when looking for fossil Ice Age bones on the Zandmotor (NL). I don't like them, because they attract the eye for nothing Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
