Looking for help on this. I’m new to actually hunting my own fossils. I found this while on a run in San Diego. If anyone would be interested in checking out or helping me with it. I notified the park rangers but it is out of park territory. #fossil

Hi, @billy-devey– this looks like a rock to me, can you explain what you are seeing?
-
I’m not too great at taking pictures. It doesn’t appear to be an intrusion especially since it is limestone. It looks like it is bone encased in the limestone. I didn’t want to pull a sample as I don’t want to disturb if it is a fossil.
-
@billy-devey – Are you sure that is limestone? I’m not very familiar with the area but I know there are a lot of fluvial deposits in the area (which doesn’t eliminate limestone). You can check out the geologic context for your exact location by using Macrostrat: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=11.5/x=-82.7280/y=27.9575/bedrock/lines/
It could be a vein rather than an intrusion – more like a pooling of minerals due to some deformation or diagenetic event. This is common in sedimentary rocks.
Talk to you soon,
Jen -
I think they’re lithified mud cracks. Sorry! Not a fossil.
