thair Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 My son went out today looking for arrow head/ artifacts. He did find a few but the most interesting item found is a fossil preserved in a chert nodule. I how found a few marine fossils in chert before but this is the first plant I have seen. This is a surprising find. It was found in Brown County, Central Texas, Penn. Have any of yall seen any like this? I thought chert would be for in marine sediment.
Ludwigia Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I remember a similar thread here recently showing something similar, but I can't seem to find it. Maybe someone else remembers better? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/

thair Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 I had not seen that other one. It is better looking than this one.
FossilDAWG Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I had not seen that other one. It is better looking than this one. Perhaps, but your son's find is mighty fine too. Don
