Kane Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Looks like calcite. Perhaps say more about where this was found? ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. It is a septarian nodule/concretion That one might polish up nicely.

Fruitbat Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Welcome to The Fossil Forum! I agree with Kane...it looks a lot like calcite in some sort of shale concretion. We find those a lot in some areas here in Texas. It is very pretty! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gturner333 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 That is a pretty septarian nodule. As Fossildude19 said, they can clean up nicely. Here is one I found in North Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 No doubt, it's a septarian nodule . I agree with Tim.

Herb Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 it is a nice septarian nodule filled with calcite.
