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!

Could be an infilled burrow - or some other sort of ichnofossil.

The rock looks like chert.

 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.

Thanks for the suggestion. Duh, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I moved to Vegas but I know the guy that runs that. Have a good night!
