Steve D. Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hey-oh! I found this while at GMR and I'm clueless as to what (if anything) it is. I've been though my fossil books and online but the curvature and the indention marks have me puzzled. I've not found something like this before. My luck it is a weird curious rock.. if it is, I'm just going to imagine it's a meg eye lid or something hahaha As always, I welcome your thoughts and appreciate you all Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 GMR has been known to turn up some really odd patterned "rocks". Also in your tags for this post you have miocene. There is no Miocene at GMR. There is Cretaceous, Pliocene and Pleistocene. In fact there are no surface Miocene deposits in North Carolina. The Pungo River Formation at the Lee Creek mine which is Miocene is about 100 feet down. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
