Fitzpm Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi New to the forum Have enjoyed reading a few posts I have attached a few pics of a stone that I found many years ago when I lived in Scotland It's quite unusual,slightly smaller than a golf ball and feels solid stone Parts of it look like leather Don't know if a fossil or some petrified poo,lol or just a plain old stone. Appreciate any feedback Thanks Fitzpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Well, 1st of all Welcome to the Forum. I hear that there are plenty of fine fossils from the land down under. At first, like you I thought Coprolite, but I was finding some of that yesterday and it is more like solidified mud rather than solid stone and does not have the fine grained lines. I guess I'll look for some of our UK members to do the guessing.

Auspex Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 To me, it seems to be a water-tumbled cobble with quartz veins.

Ludwigia Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Looks like it might have been metamorphic in origin, I don't recognize directly anything fossiliferous about it.
