iTeachMiddleSchool Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I found this rock and others like it. It feels sandy, has a few things like plant stems, leaves and seeds embedded and fossilized in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peat Burns Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 This looks like tufa to me with a leaf inclusion/impression. Not sure. Let's see what others think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I agree with tuffa. Relatively recent, geologically speaking, I would say. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeargleSchmeargl Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 +1 for tuffa! Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
