Nimravis Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was in the St. Leon and Lawrenceburg areas of Southern Indiana over the weekend doing some collecting and I came across this little concave thing - I am at a loss on what it is, any help would be appreciated.

digit Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Would be nice to see a cleaned-up photo from the convex side. Props for taking your scale cube in the field for photos. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Sorry if you already had the convex side pictured. My phone takes forever to download pictures, so I only saw the bowl (concave) side when I made the request. Really nice specimen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yup. Cool find and great that the deep knowledge distributed among the forum's members allowed it to be identified so readily. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
