fossilfin Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I am a newbie- found this interesting rock on the side of a hill outside Albuquerque. It measures about 12 inches across the top, with interesting knobs on the top, and striations inside. Could anyone identify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 What you have there is a typical concretion. Welcome to the forum, by the way. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Yep thats a nice concretion as Roger says. That small cracked off section looks like it has some septarian cracks. I bet if you had a way to get a rock saw or have someone cut it half and polish it you'd might see those septarian mineral filled cracks all thru the entire specimen...some can be outright duds and not so exciting but sometimes you get one that is quite spectacular. Or you can leave it alone and display it with your other finds. Thanks for showing us. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
