Baddadcp Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Splitting some mud stone/ shale from Arundel f and found this little beast. Shale is a misnomer too. But it was a noticeably "layered" piece of float in the College Park area. it is small. The fibers are from a q-tip, so maybe 1/16 of an inch, or slightly larger. Hard to photograph because of the dark background. Added 2 from a different device. Edited August 31, 2018 by Baddadcp additional photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Looks like some phosphate. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
