AJ58 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I know what the fossils are on the left (Ceratopea).But what are the round ones on the right ? I find them in the same shallow sandy clay washes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think you will have to give us some close up pictures of the round items. It is difficult to see any details from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The round ones look to be some sort of concretions that left concentric circles as they formed? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ58 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I don't know much about concretions but they must not be considered a true fossil. Edited March 17, 2019 by AJ58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
