Hi, @heath-carroll – any ideas on what this might be? The pattern is really interesting. Did you find anything else near this specimen? Talk to you soon, Jen
Nope it has me confused. But it is so uniform I thought I would pick it up and see what you folks might think of it.
@mackenzie-smith @jeanette-pirlo any ideas on this one?
Hi @heath-carroll. This is likely a pseudofossil, a rock that looks like a fossil. The Arkansas Geological Survey does a good job of explaining them (how they form) and what they look like. You will have to click the bottom green tab that says pseudofossils. https://www.geology.arkansas.gov/geology/fossils.html Your rock is likely a combination of a septarian nodule with polygonal weathering (the polygonal weathering especially since there seems to be a lot of iron oxide which can behave like that). I’m tagging @jbauer and @jeanette-pirlo just to see the progress of the discussion.
