caldigger Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just throwing this out there. Could this bullet have become attached to a tar ball and thus would explain the little bits of everything attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my speculation was that there are just fired tracer bullets in concretions formed at the base of them due to the chemical composition of the pyrotechnic flare material, which may be a good substrate for further crystallization/deposition of minerals and organic material. Maybe it has something to due with phosphatization or, in a good case, with phosphatic fossilization. tracer ammunition 2 " 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.

PSchleis Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Regardless of how the concretion happened, does anyone know how long it would take for that to happen. For instance, given what the concretion looks like, is it likely this bullet is from the past decade or is it older? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
