Counter Septarian Structures?


pefty

Recommended Posts

Here’s an oddball specimen that turned up on lake Champlain in Clinton county, New York, USA. The relationship between the ridges and the circles reminds me of counter septarian, but the scale seems off, and some of the circles overlap(??). Also the textures give the impression of a sheared-off surface rather than a weathered surface typical of counter septarian finds. Any insights?

Interesting, no idea at the moment!
Is there any 3D-aspect to it?

Beyond interesting!!! Is there any more of this? In other words, can you discern a larger pattern or boundaries?

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Weird and wonderful! Pics of side views and opposite side may give some clues.
