Mishaal Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hi. I found these two rocks, but I don't know what are they. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indominus rex Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don’t see any egg texture, to me they look like Spetarian nodules. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Instinct is to call them concretion, but I wouldn't rule out a volcanic origin. I don't think they are eggs at any rate. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I agree with concretions. They are not eggs (or septarian nodules). Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 These look like chert nodules to me. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM - APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

JohnJ Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 To me, these appear to be a siltstone or 'mudstone' concretion (nodule). Sometimes they can fracture in angular or slightly conchodial fashion. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjaminpb Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I’m soooo glad that it’s just a concretion. Don’t know what it is?......Don’t break it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Iron siderite concretions. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
