Marilyn Brack Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Found close to a river in along with some other interesting finds.

Walt Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well, you know it's not a diamond Is it really heavy? 'cause to be honest, when I magnify it as much as possible it looks like a big chunk of metal that was painted yellow and the paint is wearing off.

ynot Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Big piece of jasper with some iron oxide stain/crust. Not a fossil. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Walt Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 No, not a fossil. But sure is a weird stain. You can see that it is just a few mils thick..and is wearing off as opposed to flaking off.

Marilyn Brack Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Thanks Walt... It is strange, I can wash the black off of the rock and it will come back after a couple of days in the same places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The picture below shows a weathering surface with sticking out burrows, in my thinking, so it could be in the realm of ichnofossils.
