ynot Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I agree with a concretion, but there does seem to be some quartzite there also.

Bullsnake Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'd guess a very cool looking chert nodule. 2 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
