HB2 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 A friend of mine found this at Lake Shelbyville in Illinois. I'm new to all of this and can't identify it. Is it a fossil? Thanks for any input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I think the rock is a chunk of feldspar. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I do not see any fossil, but do not see feldspar either. I think it is a chert or agate type rock. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Plax Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Looks like dolomite? Are the tiny round objects cross sections of crinoids? The one at 4 o'clock in the rectangular object within your circle looks a bit like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
