Leesaa Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) I found this recently in Rio Rancho New Mexico. It looks a bit like a coprolite, or maybe an encased ? ammonite type shell. The top part looks very different than the base that has fossils visible. I am not sure if they just melded together or are part of the same thing. Can I tumble it? Or should I cut it? What would you do? Help me ID it please. My pics are too big, so I will upload more as comments. Thank you Leesaa Edited December 13, 2020 by Leesaa add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesaa Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) It keeps saying I can not submit more. How do other people submit more photos? These 2 are hardly enough to see it Hmmm, I seem to be able to edit and add more pics. Edited December 13, 2020 by Leesaa add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesaa Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Those are all different views of the same piece. What does it appear to be ? Thank you for any information and suggestions. Leesaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Can't be positive but it (and most of your current pieces) appear to be microcrystalline quartz / agate nodules. I find a ton of these in Arizona and they look quite similar. As for 1 question you asked on another post, they can be cut and polished beautifully (and sometimes have hollows, think geode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to the image upload thing, you can refresh/go back to the home page and then return to the thread to post more images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
