Becky Benfer Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 This looks like a small lizard laid here on the side or something- maybe?? And what about the deep hole? Or is it all just weathering? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky Benfer Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Does it look like an animal was there at one time though to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 No, when an animal fossilizes it very seldom resembles the living animal. So if You see a lizard in the shape it is just a coquicidence.

Probably some kind of mineral deposit which seeped into the stone. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color changes are most likely from different minerals or concentrations thereof, within the rocks structure. Roger beat Me to the type! Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
