kaytlen7 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Found wandering the bluffs of Copenhagen Community in Northeast Louisiana. Any help appreciated. "We are fossils in the making".... Wallace Stegner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacha Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If it's very soft it's most likely selenite, a clear laminate form of gypsum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymig Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I agree with Sacha It looks like gypsum to me as well. 1 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone wolf Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 It's gypsum. Gypsum is often found in close proximity to Eocene deposits in Louisiana . My son often prefers to look for gypsum (crystals) when the fossil hunting gets slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaytlen7 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 I found the largest pieces in a bluff and the creek bed below it. "We are fossils in the making".... Wallace Stegner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
