3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoGreetings @al-halt ! I agree with @mackenzie-ross-2 about the photos. At first glance it appears to be an iron nodule though.

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months ago@mackenzie-ross-2 and @al-halt I agree with @leonardo-miranda that this is petrified wood. However, we can’t know which plant (family or even phylum) because there is no cellular detail preserved.To ID wood to a lower taxanomic group, you need good preservation of the cells.

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months ago@al-halt I think it is a chert nodule. Some have concentric rings like petrified wood. The outside texture and lack of any other detail is what makes me think this.

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoThis looks like it is likely red obsidian @al-halt. Red obsidian is obsidian with hematite or iron-oxide inclusions! Very cool! Better lighting for the picture would help me know for sure! Obsidian generally has conchoidal fracture, which is a great way to ID it!

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months ago@al-halt as with my other comment, only one specimen per post, so we can accurately ID! A clearer picture here will also help with ID!

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoHI there @al-halt, if you could update this post with a clearer photo of this specimen (with a scale), as well as fill out the location information that will help with the ID process!

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoHi @al-halt in order for a post to be appropriately IDed, it must only have one specimen in the picture!

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoHi, @Al-Halt, could you add clearer photos? This could be a trace fossil, but I’m not really leaning towards that. I am thinking this may be an erosional pattern, as @A-Trilobite said.

3 years, 10 months ago3 years, 10 months agoHi, @al-halt – this is certainly a weird find. Here is some info on your location: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=12.1/x=-93.7087/y=36.3943/bedrock/lines/ it looks to be Devonian – Ordovician in age. I’ve been collecting in a area not too far from there and there was a lot of chert, is it possible that is what this is? Is it very hard (can’t…[Read more]
