Darko Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Except my first "find" i found these two rocks in the Morava river.This second one looks like an amber but it doesn't melt or has burning scent. I would like to hear your opinions,thanks again. Darko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The "amber" kinda looks like some kind of agate. Really not sure though. 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

coled18 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 @Darko If I were you, I'd look at the 'amber' with a light behind it and check for pulp/fiber. If it does have those fibers, then it is likely amber. Agate is also an option if you do not see fibers. The worn, gray piece looks like a concretion with several brachiopod and fusulinid imprints. Nice finds, and keep on hunting! CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 First rock is most likely an agate - type carnelian. Second piece looks like limestone. - Try a drop of vinegar to see if it fizzes.

coled18 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I drew red lines over where the brachiopods are, there appears to be a few imprints. If you turn that same piece over, the small holes are what I think are fusulinid imprints. Fusulinids usually mineralize, but may leave traces inside the rock that they were fossilized in, as they can be prone to falling out. As for the "amber", there does appear to be stuff in it (pulp maybe). However, look for small bubbles in it. If there are no bubbles in it, then I would think it is carnelian agate, as @ynot said above. CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely see something in the first rock ,but it does not apear to be a bubble,or maybe i don't see well hahha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
