jcorradino Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I def know this is a fossil I just don't know what it can be just wanting to know if I should hand it over to experts to evaluate. Link to post Share on other sites

sixgill pete Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 (edited) We need more info. Where was it found? The formation and age if you know them. Also we do need better more detailed pictures. But, looking at your current pictures I do not see a fossil. Edited September 15 by sixgill pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I found it on Lake Ontario it also kind of looks like a turtle fossil but I'm not sure I've seen it for myself i tried getting the best pictures possible, but the details might not show up.

Fossildude19 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 This looks like a chert nodule to me, with maybe the beginnings of counter septarian structures, just beginning to show. Pretty sure it is geologic in origin, however, and not a fossil. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Fossildude19 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Yup. Either counter septarian structures, or possibly liesegang banding. Take it to a university in Syracuse, and have a geologist look at it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
