Adventurerlikeyou Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I am new here so I am sorry if I am doing anything wrong. I was in an area with sea fossils it's a bit of an unknown area and I found this. it is fairly brittle and fell apart even after I gently picked it up and I am not sure what to make of it I am hoping somebody can tell me if it is a fossil or just a rock extra photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Looks like a water worn piece of chert to me.

abyssunder Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The first specimen might be also a chert nodule. link " 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.
