BobWill Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The video is partly out of focus but I think I can see what you are talking about. I suppose the next questions should be; what age strata? did you find it underwater? and has water seeped out of it (possibly suggesting it seeped in rather than being there for a very long time)?

I suppose the next questions should be; what age strata? did you find it underwater? and has water seeped out of it (possibly suggesting it seeped in rather than being there for a very long time)? i found it about 6 yrs. ago and the size of the bubble has stayed the same size. i think if there was a air leak it would have evaporated.i found this particular one way above the waterline, totally by chance and luck.if i drink it is it the magic fossil finding elixer?

Auspex Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 That is unique in my (limited) experience, and very cool! A hardness test (scratches/is scratched by glass) would help determine the preserving mineral. I'm thinking calcite (softer than glass). Whether it is ancient water or not will be tougher to answer...

coral daddy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 those are cool, I have 2 pieces of smaller coral I found with water in it and one piece sof a busycon or possible a kings crown whorl with it. I have found a few of the bigger coral heads up to 50+ lbs with water trapped in it.One head the kids and I actually drank it when I spalled it open. This head came from a clay layer about 15 ft down. It was awesome faith is a journey not a destination www.rockhobbies.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have never found fossils that are crystalline with water in them, but I have found selenite crystals that have water and bubbles in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Maybe you could add a few photos of the object to better understand what is in the video.... The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
