OboeTheFish Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm very new to fossil collecting and would like to check if these rocks are fossils. My apartment was built in the 80s and is currently undergoing massive construction due to the rapidly deteriorating structure of the building. I was given permission by strata to collect a few rocks from the discard pile and I came up with these. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1l7M5NQVfFNXUXIxwqfopnE_wnq1kCiijePd5yEZRyRI/edit?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It is preferred to post pictures directly to the forum. That being said, I’m not seeing fossils in these rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm not sure what the shapes are, but agree they don't look like fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Any fossils would be presented as cross sections on rocks worn like this. I'd carefully (eye protection) give them a wack and see what's inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Look like water-worn conglomerates to me. 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...
