3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoI imagine this as a small egg. It has some thing on the inside. Then it has 3 spots that look like blood. Another rock??
@diane-soderman Another rock, probably quartzite or quartz.
matthew-gramling I’m looking all the time. I always go for the rusty copper color This is wrong?
bones can be any colour
l’ve even seen some blue ones in pictures before!
be open minded when searching for fossils
Greetings @diane-soderman ! As @leonardo-miranda said fossils can be a number of different colors depending on the kind of matrix and mode of their preservation. I will say that depending on where you are collecting in South Dakota the fossils will likely match the common colors of the sediments of the geological formation you’re at. If you want something concrete and you’re collecting in western SD in the Hell Creek Formation, check my specimen posts for South Dakota fossils as a reference.
thank you Matthew
Quartz, not a fossil
Could it be amber
