ynot Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yes, it is a rock with some suggestive features, but no fossils I can see.

gregmolrocks Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I wasn't sure if this was a rock or a cast. I just found something in the first two photos. It looks like a mineralized blood vessel. Can anyone confirm that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatFossilBoy Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 To me it just looks like some mineralisation.I do not understand what you are trying to ID in these pictures... Never saw a mineralised blood vessel though. Lets see what the others say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 gregmolrocks... Sorry...but once again, I'm not seeing anything fossiliferous in your specimen. Where in Georgia (general location) are these samples coming from? -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregmolrocks Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 What about these pictures? What is being mineralized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 +1 for some form of mineralization. I'm not sure blood vessels, as being soft tissue, would be likely to preserve - and certainly not without the context of other parts, of which I'm also not seeing any evidence of in this rock. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Looks like a quartz pebble, to me. Why do you keep posting the same images? What about these rocks look like a fossil to you? Where in Georgia are you finding these? We keep asking questions, but you don't answer, and keep posting the same rock.

bone2stone Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It is very apparent to me and others that these stones you are finding are not fossiliferous. (I am supposing that this reply goes better than my first) Don't give up on getting out there and finding something that can be identified.

doushantuo Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Gregmolrocks,it would help if you try to describe what you find interesting in your finds. Also,for anyone here to say something meaningful about any piece of rock,there has to be an inkling of an idea about regional geology/(provenance) and stratigraphy. There are a zillion ways in which a rock fragment can be "interesting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When biological remains are replaced by minerals (like quartz or calcite) it is called mineralization and the resulting piece is referred to as being mineralized.
