New Members clindy3 Posted January 3, 2014 New Members Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Please help in identifying this fossil. It weighs approx. 4 ozs. Measures approx 1 3/4" across. Fairly round in shape. 9V battery is the the picture for size comparison. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Auspex Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It appears to be a concretion; sandstone-come-quartzite.

rejd Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Garage sale in Panama City Fl. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for it. As everyone else stated this is simply a concretion.
