Rowboater Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Among other stuff (not many shark teeth) found a few puzzling pieces. Picked up what I though was a piece of turtle shell, but now think it might be a broken geode with black crystals? The second could also be a rock, it is solid too, but has roughly parallel columns, a few trucated, a few lost. Any ideas? (sorry for the scanner photos, not as flat as small teeth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one looks like a tabulate coral fragment. picture from here " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Rowboater Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Thanks Abyssunder, It does look very similar to your picture and photos on Google images. Says these are very old, most of the stuff I find, at least shark teeth from the fresh water creek site i usually hunt, is from the Miocene, although I guess in the Rappahannock River just need an outcrop with fossils upstream from Ordovician (?) to wash down to a beach . ahttp://paleoportal.org/kiosk/sample_site/state_45_period_15.html. Not a great specimen compared to most on the Net, but I've never seen another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
