hndmarshall Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 found this in the gravel looks like flint can flint have fossils? I know if flint is broken it has sharp edges but the impression is that of a possible shell and smooth and rounded.. I am finding others like this also.

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Flint/ chert may indeed contain fossils, sometimes quite lovely ones, but I'm afraid this is just conchoidal fracture, I think. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I agree with Adam. Conchoidal fracture.

abyssunder Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I agree with the others. Flint / chert may contain fossils, but other silica-rich rocks like "Agate" may contain or not fossil remains. If the "Agate" is associated with volcanic activity can't contain fossils, but if it's associated with metamorphosis, it can. One of the sides of your specimen may have an agate look (volcanic) and the external surface looks molten. Can we see it in a more concluding light, pictured from the arrowed side?

sTamprockcoin Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Probably a banded chert. “Beautiful is what we see. More beautiful is what we understand. Most beautiful is what we do not comprehend.” N. Steno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
