Raggedy Man Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 This is a mazon creek concretion. You need to open it in order to ID it. Typically I soak my concretions for 24 hours in water then freeze it for several days. You can do a search on the freeze thaw method used to pop these open. Best regards, Paul ...I'm back.

Auspex Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Some (most) siderite concretions preserve nothing recognizable, and many can take dozens of freeze-thaw cycles to pop. If you run out of patience, taps of increasing force across the widest orientation might encourage it. Smashing it produces gravel.
