Pleuromya Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hello, I found this very strange rock. It has what looks like a fossil impression? And this strange hole that has scale-like structures in it. Is anybody able to tell me anything about this? Sorry there's no scale, I couldn't find a ruler. It's about 10cm long. I found it in Northamptonshire, UK. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Strange rock, indeed! Not seeing anything recognizably fossil in this one and it looks like some sort of concretion that has been internally eroded (or possibly was always hollow). Possibly, someone here will recognize it but it looks sort of like an ironstone concretion to me. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Perhaps a concretion that had a cone nucleus that has since eroded out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was full of clay, and I almost missed it. Do you know what the flat bit could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 You might try bog iron on for size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
