Tidgy's Dad Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This was sent to me in a sort of starter pack of fossils from the United States about 40 years ago. It doesn't look like any algae or stromatolites I have seen from this site. Any ideas anyone? More pics to follow. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Rockwood Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Looks like mineral crystals with a coating of mineral 'smoots' to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 The white stuff seems to be the matrix, it's not just a coating, the others stuff is on top of it, wrapped around three sides. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 No change. Wait for the locals (or opinions that outweigh mine) to weigh in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Chris Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Could be a broken off piece of a stromatolite. 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arizona Chris Paleo Web Site: http://schursastrophotography.com/fossiladventures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
