irishman Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hello again, I found this out in Pahrump, Nevada. I listed Brown in the tags but it could be mistaken, I'm color blind LOL.. can anybody tell me what this is a fossil of? I know the desert used to be under the water at one point. It appears like it was possibly underwater. But you guys would know better than me, I mainly in the minerals. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Could be an infilled burrow - or some other sort of ichnofossil. The rock looks like chert. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Ludwigia Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I just discovered this by googling Pahrump geology. Just scroll down the page to the rockhounds. Maybe you could get in touch with them if you haven't already done that. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Have a good night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
