JGrizzard Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Found this when I was a kid in Iowa and just rediscovered it at my mothers house. Could it be a skin fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Welcome to TFF! Not sure what it is, but know it is not fossil skin. I am guessing a mineral deposit. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 This is very cool looking! What a treasure for a kid to find. It is a particularly good example of a geological oddity we see occasionally, and often in sedimentary rock high in iron: LINK 3 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
