First specimen Im not sure about. When you zoom in there is definitely some type of crystallization going on but I cant tell if there is something there thats organic or its purely mineralogic. There is an interesting long thin line that seems a little out of place and I highlighted with a red arrow that I wonder about and cant explain. I suppose that could be a mineral trace but I'm not sure. The other photo with the two specimens appear to be concretions of some kind...not fossils. Outside chance there might be something within.

Not sure about the other two specimens from these images...could be wood I suppose...hard to tell. Regards, Chris 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
