ynot Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Welcome to TFF! This looks like a rock with mineral veins and some differential weathering. Not a fossil. 3 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.

MRfossilMISTER Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 kinda looks like a fossilized butterfly cocoon to me 1 games are fun, but finding fossil is even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I agree with ynot. Interesting looking structure at any rate. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 If I might indulge in a bit of speculation. Visitors to the fossil site at mistaken point are instructed to step on the layer of volcanic ash (without tip toeing off the cliff). Could this be volcanic in nature ? Edit: Just noticed the tag. Found in home. Yeah that's a volcanic bomb all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm in the differential erosion camp, so I guess it might be something close to Boxwork (speleogen) .
