UUmmm.. not to be picky or anything, but we sort of need to see a picture of the item in question.. :headscratch:

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Nice photos, @Helen’s rocks. If you could post one photo of side one with size around 3mb so we can zoom in, it would really help. So far these look like possible trace fossils.

@Helen’s rocks. Unfortunately I was unable to view your last photo and saw this instead:

Were others able to view it?

 

I did notice some circular patterns in your first photo. @caldigger I'm curious, is that normal for dendritic growth?

To me, it looks like that it has some relief. My gut feeling is, that this is a fracture surface with a thin, partial mineral coating. I think, there is a special name for such features on a fracture surface. Plume structure?? Hackle surface?? But I can be totaly wrong, of course...

That's how Dendrites form. Manganese will seep into minute fissures in the rock and spread in fracture directions.

A lateral view of the specimen is needed.
I see voids in the exposed lateral view, but the picture is too blurry to make a more precise idea. :)
