treebarkjerry Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Found this in San Miguel county, western Colorado. USGS layer says it's Dakota Sandstone and Burro Canyon formation out there. This stood out because it wasn't just a flat blocky rock. I thought it looked like it came out of one of those playdoh things where you squished the stuff through and got a star shaped rope or a bunch of spaghetti. But it's all sandstone and when I cleaned it up I see it's got some kind of mineralization on it. Whatever it is it's resting on a slightly different type of sandstone that I tried to show in the 2nd photo. Limb cast sandstone wood rreplacement?

hadrosauridae Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I have no definite answer, but it does look like it could be a tree limb cast. Certainly doesnt look completely random / broken chunk. 1 "There is no shortage of fossils.

patelinho7 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 It looks like water-shaped impressions to me but I couldn’t say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
