Theparkersfive Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Hi there. I was hoping to pick some smart brains. I found this fossil rock today in North Georgia. Near Cartersville, in Bartow County. There seems to be fossils on both the front and back side of the rock. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking a look.

Theparkersfive Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Will do more reading before I look for fossils again. Thanks for your help Edited December 29, 2018 by Theparkersfive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theparkersfive Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Oh wow. Ok. Thank you. Would you tell me what you do see? Is it just variations or different types of rocks mixing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will just be a source of entertainment. Lesson learned by me. I really appreciate your understanding, and WILL NOT be posting again. Thanks. Hope you had a good chuckle. I am seeing some non-biologic origin striations in sedimentary rock, and not fossils. Fossils would have a bit more of an organized body plan distinct from the rock. @ynot is one of our resident gurus on geology, and he may say more if asked. To him, no rock is just a rock. I hope you’ll stick with us. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Let me tag @FossilDAWG who knows Georgia formations more intimately. There are some good areas in your state. Have you been to the Conasauga shale yet? 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandstone can be made from many different minerals. Some can be eroded out and leave a coarse texture that fractures unevenly. If it were bone the patterns would be different and more organized. if shell more solid and semytrical. 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
