Buffy65 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Hello everyone! This is a cool big rock, found where we found the now identified chert. I don’t know anything about chert and rocks in general although I am learning more each time I post. Does this rock have any particular name? Also, I am posting a picture (last two photos) of what I thought was an inclusion on the first chert rock that I posted. I just want to understand what gives it away as clearly not being an inclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 It's hard for me to tell exactly what kind of rock this is. You would need to study the geology of the site where it was found in order to determine what types of rocks you have to choose from and then make comparisons. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 It is difficult to identify most minerals from photos. It's even harder when the photos are fuzzy. Many minerals require laboratory testing to provide a 100% positive ID. The common stuff with little to no outstanding features is the most difficult. Things like emeralds and rubies are easy by comparison. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
