Tidgy's Dad Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Just a patterned rock, I think, but a clearer photo might change my mind. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Actually, it looks like polished dinosaur bone. 4 Each dot is 50,000,000 years: Hadean............Archean..............................Proterozoic.......................................Phanerozoic...........

Scylla Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Agree with bone on the first one. By the way, stromatolites are usually fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Just now, abyssunder said: Really nice ones! Are they yours, Adam? ........... more information here Indeed they are! But I should have given credit to the delightful Doren @caldigger for having sent them to me. I do have a piece or two of the tumbled agate too, my name being A.Gate and all.

I guess there are tracefossils (biogenic induced sedimentary structures (= same structures can be made by different organisms, and different structures can be made by the same organisms, depending on habitat parameters); parataxonomy, etc. pp.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
